Korea changed the pricing model for network traffic to be "sending party pays". For something like OGN that has a literal TV channel it's less of an issue, but for something like twitch that is only Internet, and tons of video, it's more difficult.

the pricing model for network traffic to be "sending party pays by volume" and "receiving party pays flat rate".
