minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish15•2 years agoA total fine of $25m USD spread across three carriers. I have no idea what the scale is of the mobile providers are in SK. Is $25m much money or is this a US-style slap on the wrist fine (aka “the cost of doing business”)?
minus-square@HazdazlinkEnglish4•2 years agoLooks like there are about 70M mobile phones in SK. So roughly 33 cents from every phone bill would pay this fine. So yeah, this is a damn joke. This only encourages these companies to try this again in the future.
