South Korea's Internet penetration is phenomenal (stats)
Via eMarketer: Household broadband penetration in South Korea will hit 90.2% this year.
That is almost 25% more than the ‘almighty’ US.
Imagine the opportunities for commerce. Wow.
Other stats from this region, to provide a bit of context:
· A population of +- 50 million (which makes it the 21st highest density region in the world) 1
· It’s no surprise with the 2nd and 3rd largest cellphone companies in the world (Samsung and LG) being South Korean, that it has adopted a strong technology culture1
· Google is the 4th most visited site in the region; most visited being www.naver.com, www.yahoo.com and www.daum.net2
· South Korea has the highest broadband speed in the world – 14.6Mbps + each consumer consuming and average of 24.5GB of content per month3
