Korean operators fined again for phone subsidies
2013-12-30 11:19:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) imposed fines totaling KRW 106.4 billion on three mobile carriers for providing illegal subsidies to customers, the Korea Times reports. This is the biggest fine ever, up by over 59 percent from the KRW 66.96 billion imposed in July. The KCC slapped SK Telecom with fines of KRW 56 billion, KT with 29.7 billion and LG Uplus with 20.7 billion. The decision follows an investigation started in May and requires the three to stop immediately providing illegal subsidies and inform the public of the KCC's decision. During the probe, KCC found that all were involved in unfair competition by offering subsidies on handsets to attract customers. They had about 8.1 million new contracts and KCC examined 5 percent of them or 404,423 cases. The ratio of subsidies to handset prices stood at 65.8 percent at KT, 64.3 percent at SK Telecom and 62.1 percent at LG Uplus, with their average amount of subsidy at KRW 430,000, 421,000 and 380,000. These exceed the upper limit of KRW 270,000 set by the authorities. The KCC said it imposed the heavy fines after the three carriers repeatedly violated the law despite previous penalties.

Federal judge says NSA phone data collection legal
2013-12-30 09:29:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A federal judge in New York has ruled that the National Security Agency's phone-tracking programme is legal. US District Judge William Pauley issued the decision, saying the programme "represents the government's counter-punch" to eliminate al-Qaida's terror network by connecting fragmented communications, AP reports. In the ruling, the judge noted the September 11 terrorist attacks and how the phone data-collection system could have helped investigators connect the dots before the attacks occurred. He said the government learned from its mistake and "adapted to confront a new enemy: a terror network capable of orchestrating attacks across the world", and the data-collection programme was part of the adjustment. The ruling dismissed a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union against the NSA programme. The ACLU said it plans to appeal.
