Wouldn't the work around then be for Twitch to do a 49-51 split with a South Korean ISP to get favortism?

These entrenchment laws are there to favor the big ISPs in SK, it would stand to reason that they would be happy to make money in such an arrangement, and Twitch gets a secondary downstream benefits that they can reap.

There’s a good chance someone already had this idea, explored it, and found a reason why it can’t work.

I'm not so sure. Amazon doesn't have a history of doing this sort of thing, I don't know that its in their DNA.

I'm willing to bet there was no real diligence to an idea like this as a result. I was of course postulating myself (and don't know the inner details of Twitch either) however, upon thinking about it further, it seems unlikely it was ever seriously entertained, if at all.
