South Korea has a solution on Netflix: pay network usage fees. That is a new way of looking at it. I had expected that customers would pay for their traffic. But these days, regulators are coming with new playbooks.

A South Korean court has ruled against Netflix in a case over its payment – or lack thereof – of network usage fees. The decision essentially means that the video streaming specialist will now have to pay the network operators to carry its traffic, pending the result of what is being seen as an inevitable appeal. The story comes from the Korea Herald, which explains that late last week a court in Seoul ruled that Netflix should pay for traffic over SK Broadband’s network.
