yeah, I hate to think about the facts:
* monopoly/duopoly industry and lack of competition
* an FCC that cares more about what the telcos want than what consumers or the nations needs
* legislators that are bought and paid for to do the bidding of the telcos
and finally, the fact the U.S. is years behind the most advanced nations in broadband, with no hope for catching up anytime soon.
So yeah, I hate to think about the facts.
You just spewed more of the same. All you did was just bring up a bunch of points which does nothing to highlight the differences between South Korea's economy and ours. Perhaps you prefer to live in a socialist economy and pay for the porn, movies, and mp3's of those who are too lazy to work. I don't. It's also nice how you chose to ignore the fact salaries differences actually makes their price $65- 72$ a month on average. How many Americans would pay that much for service? Not many, the majority of Americans care about price.
