In the latter, in particular, the service is so popular that the possibility that it be reduced or even eliminated has generated protests. A few days ago the news that the Korean television, given the poor economic returns, it could decide to remove the covering from the signal lines of the subway. Many Koreans have threatened the operator to terminate its contract if this happens. Do not forget that Korea was the first country in the world to enjoy mobile TV, since 2005, and that most Koreans will serve every day of the subway to move from home to school or work, even for long journeys.
