The Internet has a higher status for many Koreans than it does in the West, and the government actively supports this.[4] According to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation South Korea's internet is the most developed in the world.[5] Particularly Seoul, the nation's capital, has been called "the bandwidth capital of the world".[6] In January 2006, it became the first country to achieve over 50% broadband penetration per capita.[7] By 2005, it was the first country to complete the conversion from dial-up to broadband.[8] It also has the cheapest, fastest broadband in the world.[9] Now there are experiments with speeds of 1 Gigabit per second. Additionally, in 2005 96.8% of South Korean mobile phones had Internet access.[10]
