Where was all this outrage when South Korea banned the iPhone until 2009 to protect the local cell phone makers?

Believe it or not, a whole lot of South Koreans were complaining about it, you just don't hear about it over here in America.

I wasn't "outraged" because it didn't affect me or mine, but I do find incidents like that distressing. Especially because, at least in Korea's case, it can compete.

One example, granted, with Google's help, is my father, who tried both an iPhone and a Galaxy, and decided the latter was better.
