Koreans spend more time online than any other Asians. 70% of stock transactions here are conducted online. Koreans earn less than half what the Japanese do, but spend more shopping online. Meanwhile, Korea Telecom and Hanaro Telecom plan to set up 25,000 WLAN hotspots throughout the country by the end of 2002, providing broadband connections to anyone with a local area network card in their PC or PDA." We have a little way to go .......	TonyF (246)

281564	2004-10-16 04:23:00	Have you ever been to Seoul or ever seen pictures?! The buildings are 3 feet apart, its easy to run a fibre a few feet to a whole new apartment building. Look at Auckland CBD, buildings arn't that close and move out to the suburbs and you can see the problem - David	DangerousDave (697)

What they have given up they will never get back.	metla (154)
