South Korea Aims For 1Gbps > 1Gbps ain't worth squat

said by Cargopantdude :

Keep in mind that small countries like Korea have populations crammed together so it's easy to develop super high speed internet infrastructure. Consider another country with high per capita internet connections - Iceland, did they not go bankrupt? Speaking of which, Korean banks had to set up a borrowing facility from the US FEDERAL RESERVE, like their own central bank couldn't handle the crisis. Moral of the story is do you want to live in a country that brags about its super high service and overly tacky melodramas but doesn't have their act together when it comes to finances, banking (remember 1997 anyone?), education, cultural insularity...
