LG U+, a subsidiary of LG, has announced this week that everyone in South Korea will now have free Wi-Fi, no matter what ISP or carrier you have.
To get the free Wi-Fi, Koreans need to register for an LG U+ ID. Once that it is done, they can connect to the company's "Free_U+zone."
The way LG U+ can offer the service is that for every hour you stay connected you will have to sit through one 15 second advertisement. That's it.
South Koreans already have the fastest average Internet speed in the world and now have access to free Wi-Fi no matter where they are in the nation.
