"Korea Will Bring 1Gpbs Broadband To Every Home for $27 a Month By 2013"

Don't you love it? Elsewhere speeds increase nearly exponentially and prices drop significantly. But in America and other western nations where the cable and telecom industries yield significant power speeds increase slowly and prices rise with the increases. If hosting plans were the same way I'd probably be paying $1000 for 10 TB of bandwidth instead of $50.
I think Time Warner now offers "Roadrunner lite" which is $30 a month. It's like 768k. Apparently South Korea is going to offer a service over 1000 times faster for less money than Time Warner's crappy lite plan. How can someone who is reasonable agree with this? And why is a 768k plan $30 a month anyway? Seems like overcharging and profit taking to me. Such a plan ought to be closer to $5 to $10.
