주권찾기 시민모임에 글쓰기가 안되어 여기에 올립니다.오늘자 신문에 잠깐 언급된 포브스지 기사입니다.
여기에는 한국의 인터넷실상을 소개하는 가운 데 가공할 만한 부정선거의 사실이 적시되어 있습니다.
대략 내용은 오전 11시에 노무현이 지고있었는 데 이러한 사실을 안 지지자들이 채팅과 80만통에 달하는 문자메시지를 보내어 투표장에 가도록 지지자들을 독려했다.
전통적으로 냉담한 젊은이들이 투표장에 갔고 오후 2시에 노무현이 이겼다는 내용입니다.(투표에 무관심한 젊은이들이 독려로 갔다는 내용)
출구조사의 결과가 투표시간중에 노무현측에서 불리하자 이를 유포하여 불법을 저질렀다는 게 민주주의 나라에서 있을 수 있는 일 입니까.
투표시간중에 출구조사가 유출되어 불리한 측에서 이용한 일 입니다.출구조사를 알만큼의 정보접근자들이 누구 입니까.순수한 지지자들 이겠습니까.
이것이 정의가 살아있는 나라라고 보십니까.선거에는 지고 이기는 사람이 있습니다.공정한 선거가 보장되어야 민주주의도 보장되는 것이 아닙니까.
선거가 끝났다고 이것을 덮어둔다면 다음에 정의가 숨쉬는 나라라고 보십니까.
참고로 오후들어 투표율이 갑자기 높아졌고 표차이도 60만표 입니다.
이승만때의 부정선거가 다시 재현되는 데에 제동을 거는 것의 마지막 보루는 대법원이라 봅니다.
이것을 대법원에 증거로 제출할 것을 제보해 주시기 바랍니다.

Koreans realized they had entered a new era after the last presidential elections. By 11 a.m. on Dec. 19, 2002, exit poll results showed that the iconoclastic Roh Moo Hyun, 56, a 2-to-1 favorite among youth, was losing the election. His supporters hit the chat rooms to drum up support. Within minutes more than 800,000 e-mails were sent to mobiles to urge supporters to go out and vote. Traditionally apathetic young voters surged to the polls and, by 2 p.m., Roh took the lead and went on to win the election. A man with little support from either the mainstream media or the nation's conglomerates sashayed into office on an Internet on-ramp. The traditional Confucian order had been flipped upside down, and a symbolic transfer of power from elders to youth took place.

Korea's Weird Wired World
Benjamin Fulford, 07.21.03
Strange things happen when an entire country is hooked on high-speed Internet.
Last September Han Sang, a 14-year-old boy in Seoul, stole $35 from his parents to buy sunglasses and other accessories. The petty thievery was bad enough, but what really irked his dad, Kim Sung Bae, was that none of the stuff he bought was real. They were for the animated character, or avatar, the boy used as a stand-in for himself on the Internet. Han was spending four hours each night hanging out online with his friends and wanted his virtual stand-in to look as cool as possible.
Kim punished his son with an Internet curfew: No more surfing after midnight. Every Sunday afternoon would be Internet-free family time, and Han Sang would have to watch TV with his parents for a few hours a week. His parents, in return, promised to visit Han's virtual worlds with him.
South Korea has gone gaga over broadband. This nation of 46 million people has quickly become the world's most wired nation. Politics, entertainment, sex, mass media, crime and commerce are being reshaped by a population as online as it is offline. Some 11 million homes, or 70% of the total, have broadband accounts, and at peak times just about all of those homes are online. Nearly two-thirds of Korean mobile phone users have shifted to so-called third-generation handsets that offer speeds up to ten times that of mobiles in the U.S. Here, residential broadband isn't expected to enter 50% of homes until late 2004.
Ubiquitous, fast and cheap access to the Internet has upended Korean society in dramatically unexpected ways. Depending on whom you ask, its experience should serve as either a warning or a triumph for the rest of a world racing to deliver broadband to the masses. Korean marriages are fraying as spouses cheat on each other through video chat. Psychiatrists are swamped with patients coming in for cures for online addiction. One man even died last year from a heart attack brought on by the stress of spending days waging war in an Internet game.

Thousands of giant online fantasy worlds are populated by real people interacting virtually, often representing themselves with animated characters in a blend of game play and chat. One online fantasy game, Lineage, features 50 worlds, each so big it takes six hours just to walk from one end to the other. At times 320,000 or more people posing as spiders, beautiful women, mighty warriors or half-snake/half-humans communicate by voice, by typing, with hand signs and by fighting, running away and even embracing.
In the U.S. the tech sector looks to broadband to rescue it from a slump. Korea makes the prospect plausible. A Korean firm called NCSoft has already become the world's largest online gaming network, with 3.2 million subscribers paying $25 per month. It has the potential to beat both Microsoft's Xbox Live and Sony's broadband PlayStation networks in the race to dominate online gaming. Last year NCSoft bought ArenaNet, a U.S. gaming company founded by the creators of the hit multiplayer games Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo. The Korean game networks already have a head start next door in China. A new Korean game called Fortress has 35 million players there.
Hanaro, the country's top seller of broadband access, and its nemesis, Korea Telecom, are racing to build the world's most advanced wireless Internet infrastructure. Hanaro may soon approve a $1.2 billion cash infusion from a group of investors led by U.S. insurer AIG (nyse: AIG - news - people ). If the deal goes through, it would be Korea's largest foreign investment to date. The idea is to have base stations everywhere beaming Net connections at 2.4 megabits per second--faster than top cable modem speeds--so that people can be connected no matter if they are in the street, in a car or at a restaurant. People could use the same e-mail and network identity everywhere, on landlines or over the air.
Firms like Samsung and LG are inventing new types of handheld devices with voice-recognition and big screens to help people defend their virtual castles no matter where they are. At least 80 foreign companies have set up research sites in Korea to tap into this gigantic broadband laboratory. Even though Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) gets only $200 million in yearly revenue from Korea, it has just invested $500 million in Korea Telecom, in part to test plans for ubiquitous computing. Microsoft got a glimpse of this concept two years ago, when a small Korean Internet site began to show a movie clip of a famous actress having sex with her manager. The site was overwhelmed as, within three days, the entire country accessed it by various means.
When the Slammer virus shut down Internet service for several hours in Korea in January, the whole country suffered from withdrawal symptoms, says Ken Lee, chairman of Korea Telecom, the nation's biggest broadband provider. Some 10% of the general population and 40% of 13-to-18-year-olds are addicted to the Net, says Dr. Kim Hyun Soo, 37, head of Korea's professional society for psychologists specialized in treating Internet addiction. "I have seen kids who have not left the house for two years," he says.
