Korean Telcos In Trouble For Adult Text

Korea’s mobile operators are in trouble with the National Police Agency’s Cyber Crime Unit, who accuse them of “millions by marketing erotic literature to their customers”. I assume this was some sort of premium SMS product. “Police say the firms totted up about US$48 million in sales by providing 5,093 indecent stories since 2003. Profits amounted to an impressive 41 percent of that or $19.8 million in so-called information usage fees.” 50 employees of the carriers and 43 content providers were booked on suspicion of providing indecent literature to users’ handsets.
