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.
