South Korea has 10% FTTH Take Rates. Is that a Problem?

Take rates (percentage of customers who actually buy a service) are not the same thing as availability (the percentage of consumers who actually can buy a product).

It is doubtful many people actually believe South Korea has an internet access problem, even if buy rates for FTTH might be as low as 10 percent.

Internet access reaches about 99 percent of South Korean households, and South Korea has the fastest average internet access speeds globally, in some studies, or ranks among the top three, in other studies
