How Korea Has the Fastest Internet Speed
Korea’s Internet, famous for its super-fast connections, got its start on May 15th, 1982.
It was on this date that computer scientist Chon Kil-nam became the first Korean to connect to the Internet.
After that time, Korea rapidly developed its Internet systems and now enjoys the fastest connection speeds in the world.
How did the nation achieve this?
Above all, Korea’s government invested heavily in building Internet networks.
Thanks to its 10-year “information infrastructure” project, the country had broadband Internet by 1998.
In 2000, nearly half of Korea’s population could access the Internet.
Importantly, Korea’s leaders encouraged healthy competition among Internet service providers, which in turn promoted faster speeds.
What’s more, Korea’s traditional culture continues to play an important role in advancing the country’s Internet infrastructure.
With their focus on hard work and education, Koreans will always make good use of the Internet as a tool to network with others and learn new things.
