South Korea pushes for 1Gbps of Internet connectivity

September 14th, 2006 3:09 pm by BlackWhite

South Korea, the most wired nation in the world is on its way to another “first” in terms of internet connectivity. The nation is pushing its broadband internet to speeds of 1Gbps. So what does this mean? You can compare this with the 52Kbps of the dial-up connection we used to have back in the 90’s. FYI, 1Gbps=1048576 Kbps? hehe
So, what would you do with 1 Gbps of throttle at your disposal?
BTW, it is compulsory for every builder in Seoul to provide wi-fi connectivity in all the apartments that they build.
