According to the BBC, �the [South Korean] government is encouraging enterprise to spend the 34 trillion Won (�19bn)� required to build the infrastructure. That number is roughly equal to the amount that the country spends on education.


Really?? That's insane......Korean internet is plenty fast enough......On the other hand, Korean public schools have rubbish facilities and 1970's teaching culture.......bit of a bad priority choice there.
