That's about the same as it costs them to run 30h of 1080p streaming to 100k people.

It's a drop in the bucket, and one they aren't even going to pay.

~~While I believe the sum is a drop in the bucket for them, those numbers sounds like way too much. I'm ready to be proved wrong, just sounds very expensive.~~

~400 mil to stream 30h of video to 100k people? So 40mil to run 3 hours of video to 100k people, so ~13 mil to run 1 hour of video to 100k people, so 130 won to run 1 hour of 1080p video for one person?

130 won = 0,098$

~~Doesn't sound realistic to be honest. I probably misunderstood something here, or you were just exaggerating. Idk.~~

Edit I mistook wons for dollars at first, my bad, fixed sums and now it does look realistic, yes
