Twitch shutting down in South Korea due to network fees

Twitch is shutting down in South Korea due to prohibitively expensive network fees. Despite efforts to reduce costs, such as lowering stream quality and using peer-to-peer networks, Twitch could not make it profitable to operate in the country. South Korea's model of double charging ISPs and content providers for bandwidth fees is a major factor in this issue. ISPs in other markets, inspired by South Korea's approach, are also pushing for content providers to pay for network costs.
