This is primarily because of the high levels of Internet penetration compounded by the population. On average East Asia has an Internet Penetration level of 46.74%. South Korea features the highest Internet penentration level of 71.2% with Japan and Taiwan following closely at 68.7% and 67.4%. A summary of the statistics is listed in the table below. These statistics were gathered from Internet World Statistics.

International Bandwidth for East Asia
The international bandwidth for China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia and Taiwan are shown in the figure - International bandwidth - below. The statistics have been collected from Mike Jenson 10/18/07 - International bandwidth by country, Internet World Stats and ITU. They clearly show two groups of countries; those which have reasonable available resources (such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China) and those which are lagging far behind (such as Mongolia).

The central projection of the Global Internet Map 2006 shows the international internet bandwidth and is scaled by capacity. The map also shows color-coded tags, indicating the number of internet hosts per 10,000 people. Each country is color-coded according to the extent of international internet bandwidth available. The maps of central projection and international bandwidth usage per country were prepared by TeleGeography.

The central projection of the Global Internet Map 2006 shows the international internet bandwidth and is scaled by capacity. The map also shows country code top level internet domains (ccTLDs) and country dialing codes on color-coded tags, indicating the number of internet hosts per 10,000 people. Each country is color-coded according to the extent of international internet bandwidth available. The maps of central projection and international bandwidth usage per country were prepared by TeleGeography.
Routing
For the sake of reference, the figure below shows major international traffic routes with at least 9 Gbps of aggregate capacity and the submarine cable map. Domestic routes are omitted. The source is TeleGeography research.
