The following is my article - a pretty high-level overview on Naver's domination in the Korean market and the pressure on the company to embrace the open internet further. I tried to be as objective as possible - Trust me, I'm not a blind-folded Naver basher. It's a rather long article (2 1/2 pages long) but it will be a good food for thought, even for those outside of the Korean web industry.
