story category South Korea: Slipping in the Rankings
Various studies aim to remove broadband crown
(old news - 03:57PM Thursday Mar 30 2006)
tags: business · bandwidth · stats · world
While South Korea is traditionally thought of as the poster child for broadband & technology, a recent World Economic Forum report ranks them fourteenth on their "information and communication technology (ICT) usage and acceptance" index (the Unites States was first). On the heels of that study comes a new Ipsos Insight study showing South Koreans aren't tops on time spent on-line, falling behind Japan, Canada, and the United States. As a triple whammy, Point Topic has released new stats showing South Korea may be losing its grip on the top spot in broadband penetration as well. It's still the place to be if you want a 100Mbps connection for $32.

...we'd have South Korea-quality broadband here by the end of the week if a company took THAT up as its slogan....

U.S. doing pretty well

Well, it looks like the U.S. is not doing so bad after all. All the doom and gloom about how the U.S. trails the world is not true at all. And the best part is how U.S. industry and technology is making effective use of the internet. It isn't just all porn and entertainment.

think about it dude...

let me see the South Koreans don't have that much money to make when working, if can...

poor country compared to the USA...sooo um..u pay more because u earn more compared to other countries...

oh and I believe South Korea has a lot more restriction than here at this very moment..

Don't compare apples to oranges, unless ur prepared to eat them both at the same time.

Please make sentences that make sense?

Trying to understand what you wrote. So South Koreans dont make much money, when they can work? Are most South Koreans disabled?
