Re: Paid twice
That's certainly one way to look at it but what I was trying to suggest is that the South Korean market sees things differently. I don't know, the nearest thing which comes to mind is the banking system in the US. I heard from colleagues who moved there that dealing with banks from another state is painful, which seems odd when compared to Europe where I can transfer money to different countries with ease.
In practical terms sending money between banks across regional or country boundaries is technically simple as proven here but for cultural and historical reasons I hear it's difficult in the US. In practical terms 1 packet is the same as another but perhaps in South Korea there is some cultural/historical reason why it doesn't work like that?
While I've visited South Korea I've never used the Internet there and my Korean is only really good enough to ask basic directions and on a good day order some food :-) So I don't really know how things stand over there with regards to ISPs.
