Korea to have I-Max home viewing by 2012

From TG Daily -

The Korea Communications Commission has announced it plans to spend $24.6 billion over the next five years to increase the nation's Internet broadband infrastructure to support country-wide 1 Gbps Internet access, and wireless services of 10 Mbps (about 10x faster than current highest-end offerings), which will generate 16x clearer TV signals and allow for at-home viewing of I-Max films.

For comparison, in the US today, a typical cable subscriber gets less than 16 Mbps, while fastest broadband services max out at 60 Mbps.
