"Availability of such high-speed connections has allowed Korea to emerge as a leader in the MMO and online gaming industries." What came first, the faster Internet connections (chicken), or the emergence as a leader in the MMO and online gaming industries (egg)?

If there's any reliable evidence to suggest either way, I'd love to hear it.
