Joint venture backs PS3 Online support
Korea is one of the most wired countries in the world.
Just take a look at their online gaming numbers. This is probably why SCE WWSJ (or Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios Japan) and the Korea IT Industry Promotion Agency have teamed up to promote WA! PS3 Online. This is support for Korean game development in that area and aims to help small and mid-sized studios come out with quality online titles for the PS3.
The "support" comes in the form of money and technical sustenance. Free development kits are also in the deal. Take a look at the article for more details.
