Most wired country status.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/world/asia/02robot.html?ex=1301634000&en=7d5fcaf014309078&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss--Sir Edgar 06:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Um, yes, but see also [2] and various other reports on the 2006 Ipsos Face of the Web survey, which found that Japan is now the most "wired" (in terms of broadband connections per capita). I'm not really sure how trustworthy the Ipsos data is, but as far as I can tell they're the only people who go out collecting this kind of information. One suspects that the NYT reporter was using old information; in 2003 or 2004, nobody would have questioned the ROK's status. -- Visviva 10:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

There's a new update to this, and apparently they're still the most wired nation http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/technology/18rehab.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin That's only a few days old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Igob8a (talk • contribs) 23:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

See UNCTAD's ICT report 2007-2008 and OECD Broadband Statistics 2007. S.Korea is not the Most wired country status. http://www.unctad.org/Templates/webflyer.asp?docid=9479&intItemID=2068&lang=1&mode=downloads http://www.oecd.org/document/60/0,3343,en_2649_201185_39574076_1_1_1_1,00.html --Koreakorea1 (talk) 10:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The information you bring out seems to be about "broadband statics", and you didn't quote relevant information here. There is too many statics by various category, so quote it first. And you should not confuse "broadbnad" with wired nations.

P.S I feel like you're not a Korean at all per your contribution history. Koreans generally don't abbreviate country name like S.Korea. You can change your name via Wikipedia:Changing username--Appletrees (talk) 11:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

See http://www.unctad.org/Templates/webflyer.asp?docid=9479&intItemID=2068&lang=1&mode=downloads pp.85. Broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants. 1st is Bermuda(36.3/100) and 2nd is Netherlands(31.7/100), 3rd is Denmark(31.6/100). Republic of Korea is 5th(29.0).

P.S There is not a rule that a non-Korean person must not use the ID which contains the word Korea! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cvcc (talk • contribs) 12:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm... you miss the point. Still, many people access internet with 'non-broadband' service or dial. The most wired country doesn't mean a country with highest subscribers of broadband in the world. You better check broadband article before deleting reliable source like the New York Times citation. Unless the citation is proved wrong, Koreakorea1's removal can be considered as vandalism. I requested to show the evidence to back up your claim but you didn't. Cvcc and Koreakorea1, these two editors recently created their accounts and then equally obsess with rankings and technology of South Korea and Japan. Very interesting. Using country name is okay as long as it doesn't breach to the username policy, but it is also allowed for any user to recommend someone to change his or her name. To me, the name looks very conspicuous. I wonder why Cvcc directly responded to my opinion on the matter on behalf of Koreakorea1. The changing or removal of the sentence was only done by Koreakorea1. --Appletrees (talk) 20:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

100Mbit/s broadband internet access, full HDTV broadcasting, DMB, 3G HSDPA

Korea is not "only" country in the world with nationwide 100Mbit/s broadband internet access, full HDTV broadcasting, DMB. It is not correct. For example, in Japan nationwide 100Mbit/s broadband internet access is did by NTT East and West, NHK or other many broadcasting center offer nationwide full HDTV broadcasting by both Ground-based and Stellite based, and MobaHO! offer by DMB, and NTT Docomo and Softbank mobile offer 3G HSDPA service. --Koreakorea1 (talk) 23:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

You could've removed just "only", but you didn't. You blanked the whole sentence along with the robotics sentence. Why did you make such the disruptive edits? --Appletrees (talk) 00:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

There were many humanoid robots in the world. EveR-1 is not world 2nd "Humanoid robot" but "android". Android and Humanoid are differrent. See the article Humanoid robot And the reason why I remove these sentences is this article is too redundant. See other Featured articles. Most of them are not so long but sophisticated. --Koreakorea1 (talk) 01:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't also explain about your blanking. You deleted the examples of the android, EveR-1. You can also tag , but you just delete with your POV pushing. What you did to the article is disruptive enough. And stick to using one account.--Appletrees (talk) 08:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
