>Ultimately, the cost to operate Twitch in Korea is prohibitively expensive and we have spent significant effort working to reduce these costs so that we could find a way for the Twitch business to remain in Korea. First, we experimented with a peer-to-peer model for source quality. Then, we adjusted source quality to a maximum of 720p. While we have lowered costs from these efforts, our network fees in Korea are still 10 times more expensive than in most other countries. Twitch has been operating in Korea at a significant loss, and unfortunately there is no pathway forward for our business to run more sustainably in that country.

Starting with a 2016 amendment to Korea's Telecommunications Business Act (TBA), same-tier ISPs (of comparable size) have had to compensate each other based on the volume of traffic they exchange under a sending-party-network-pays policy (SPNP). In turn, consumers' ISPs regularly pass these costs on to providers of online content like Netflix, and thus their customers through higher prices.

This payment scheme effectively penalizes high traffic volume, since it assesses fees based on the volume of data being transmitted, so it disincentivizes large content providers from positioning themselves in a content chain that ends in South Korea. This process creates inefficient traffic flows that the government has tried to ameliorate by mandating large content providers to ensure stable services. It has also increased the costs of doing business: 2021 internet transit prices in Seoul far exceeded those in Paris and New York.

>>63973378

the difference with youtube is that it's not primarily a streaming site and as a video hosting site it doesn't really have local competition on the same level so sticking around to continue dominating is worthwhile

Sure, youtube is bigger they might afford the cost, but that doesnt mean they turn a profit. And 10x the operating cost is too much to just "let operate" in the long run. Are you saying they run at a loss too? As you've stated they continue to dominate the area, but high traffic volume is penalized by their payment scheme, I dont see how dominating the area is an argument that helps in this case.

To me it just seems like Twitch is incapable of managing this correctly.

fundamentally, the 95% of channels that never get past single digit viewership are just money sinks to serve traffic for, but twitch also can't grow if they restrict their service for only big streamers

A CDN doesn't matter. The traffic would still have to be routed through the ISPs to the customer. The ISPs would know where the traffic is coming from and charge Google accordingly.
It's much more likely that Google/Alphabet has some kind of deal with the government or ISPs. There's a lot of corruption in Korea so it wouldn't surprise me if there are a ton of shady dealings going on, but at the end of the day, if Google didn't want to pay, they'd be stupid to try and force it.

Really the streaming explosion in the US that fractured the Streaming Market from Netflix and misc things to a mountain of various services and companies was the response to people pulling the plug on network/cable TV.
Instead of them begging the government to save them they just decided to try and fracture streaming so they all can get a cut. Which has the side effect of making more Streaming Exclusive shows which further disincentives watching TV as if all the good shit's going to streaming why watch the leftovers that are on TV?
