Why Netflix is at War with S. Korea
Network Usage Fee Law Explained
Are you worried that your favorite Korean content will disappear with the passage of Korea's controversial Network Usage Fee Law? Very similar to the 'net neutrality' debate, if this legislation is approved by Korean lawmakers, the entire global content industry could become infected, starting with South Korea's media industry.
South Korean telecommunications giant SK Telecom has been embroiled in a legal dispute with Netflix for years because it wants to charge a 'burden fee' to the streaming giant just like it does to Korean tech companies for outsize usage of its networks. But don't consumers already pay for the internet's operations? And isn't their business a government-protected monopoly?
In this episode of The Shade Report, I break down South Korea's Network Usage Fee Law in simple to understand terms. And in our K-beauty corner, I'll review a great toner to relieve itchy, inflamed skin. It's the innisfree truecare panthenol 10 toner that's packed with soothing B5 vitamins.
