Korea has afaik much higher cost to deliver data for international services because they charge the sender of the data per unit, and Twitch couldn’t operate profitably despite the obvious market fit.
Surprising that they’re fining them on top of it though!
Korean ISPs can't charge the customers more, because many of the customers (both landline and mobile) have been promised "unlimited" data. There'd be a colossal shitstorm if they ever tried to take that back. So they look for easier prey: foreign video streaming platforms.
