Is that the monthly internet fee in these two countries is insanely cheap. It is almost like the air (free). Take a look at the stats below…
Monthly Fee For A 100kb/s Broadband Internet Usage (in US$)
- Japan – 0.07
- Korea – 0.08
- Taiwan – 0.18
- US – 0.49
- UK – 0.63
- China – 10.8
After a quick comparison, netizens or online gamers in China have to pay 135 times more than their Korean counterparts. Moreover, the Chinese use 10% (give or take) of their monthly income to surf the net, play online games or engage in any other online activities.
Chinese gamers have to pay a high price to play…online.
