      No need. Asian countries are not blocked from using Twitch. It’s just Twitch won’t have local business in Korea now.

      This’ll probably happen, anyone wanting to watch or stream on Twitch will probably just go through the Japanese servers. But Twitch isn’t that popular in Korea anyways, most of the Korea-based streamers on the platform have large foreign audiences.

      What’s funny is Korean VPNs would be paying the fees to the ISPs instead, lol. ISPs still get their money.

        Which would be passed to their customers in the form of more expensive VPN price. Either way, the ISPs are the winner here, and I think someone mentioned that it’s practically impossible to create a new ISP due to regulatory capture so there will be no competition to challenge the oligopoly.
