The Mobile Law Violation Reporting Center Has Not Even Opened Yet

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] It has been revealed that the Park Geun-hye administration heavily promoted the opening of a violation reporting center for the Device Distribution Structure Improvement Act (Device Distribution Act) but never actually established the center.

On the 5th, Lee Yong-bin, a member of the National Assembly's Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting Communications Committee (Democratic Party), claimed, "In February 2015, the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the Korea Communications Commission announced they would operate a violation reporting center for the Device Distribution Act, but the government never opened it." At the time, the Park Geun-hye administration planned to operate ▲reporting of violations of the Device Distribution Act ▲reward reporting for illegal acts in mobile communications, and even announced plans to provide rewards of up to 10 million won for reward reports.

The online reporting center introduced in the press release was actually operated by the Korea Information and Communications Promotion Association, which is autonomously run by SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus. Lee pointed out, "The 8,873 reports received by this center over the past five years were never shared with the Korea Communications Commission." He added, "The Korea Communications Commission issued a false press release as if it had opened the center, which is an institution completely unrelated to the government," and said, "It was like entrusting a cat with fish since the distribution parties themselves were handling violation reports."
