They're leaving the market. If anything Amazon is putting a shot across the bow of the ISPs who are charging these interconnect fees to get THEM negative press and make the Korean public demand a change in the laws so they can get the Internet they pay for.

Amazon may be quitting twitch in Korea, but their cloud services are still paying for the dumb fees.
