Gov't to Provide Large Aid to Telecom Operators
January 14, 1998 (SEOUL) -- The Korean government will
provide about US$69 million to companies in the
telecommunications industry to help ease their financial
difficulties, said Kang Bong-kyun, minister of Information and
Communications.

He made the comment at a meeting with domestic
telecommunications service providers in Seoul.

In recent years the ministry has given financial assistance on an
annual basis to key telecom service providers.

The ministry said it will select 36 telecom service providers to
receive assistance within this week.

The telecom service providers that participated in the meeting said
they welcomed the government's policies to liberalize telecom fees
as well as to lower restrictions on entry into key businesses. They
said it is difficult for them to secure investment funds during the
prevailing economic crisis.

Mobile phone service providers said that the total number of
subscribers remains steady.

A ministry official said there will be no changes in fees based on
portion of sales, which are paid by telecom operators.
