KOREA COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RECOMMENDS TO MIC TO SUSPEND ACQUISITION OF NEW
MOBILE SERVICE SUBSCRIBERS OF 3 MOBILE OPERATORS AND KT
The Korea Communications Commission (the "KCC"), a government agency established
under the Ministry of Information and Communication (the "MIC"), has recommended
that the MIC suspend SK Telecom Co. Ltd. ("SKT"), KT Freetel Co. Ltd. ("KTF"),
LG Telecom Ltd. ("LGT") and Korea Telecom ("KT") from acquiring new subscribers
for periods of time set forth below for their violation of the ban on providing
subsidies to handset purchasers.
Details of Suspension are as follows:
- The recommended suspension periods are 40 days for SKT, 30 days for KTF and
LGT and 20 days for KT (in connection with its resale of KTF service),
respectively.
- If the MIC approves the recommendations by the KCC, the four service
providers will be banned from acquiring new mobile subscribers, including
MNP subscribers, during the applicable suspension periods.
- Other than the ban on the acquisition of new subscribers, the service
providers will be able to continue regular business activities, including
replacement of handsets, changes in user names, changes in mobile phone
numbers and changes in tariff plans applicable to the existing subscribers.
- In order to minimize possible inconvenience to users, the KCC suggested
that the MIC impose the actual suspension period on each service provider
in a sequential order.
