We Want “Cellphone Rate Cut”

We Want “Cellphone Rate Cut”

– The attitude of government is …

The “One million people on-line signatures demonstration (myhandphone.net)” already has gotten the signatures of 600,000 people, but the Minister of Information and Communication has ignored our action for a “Cell phone Rate Cut”.
On the 18th of September, the minister, Yang Seung-taek, said in a press briefing “the rate problem should take into account the investment and accumulated net loss of cell phone carriers”. Commenting the on-line singings of PSPD, he also said “one million or ten million cannot solve this problem.”
Already the Ministry of Finance and Economy and the government party suggested a rate cut. Nevertheless, the minister opposed this plan. The PSPD defined his comment as violent language. The PSPD suspects some connection between the carriers and the government.

The PSPD proposal:
1. The ministry of Information and Communication and the minister should show why the resources cannot reduce the cell phone rate. Cell phone carriers must make their costs and business reports clear.

2. The PSPD wants urgent discussions for solving this problem.

3. PSPD wants the reorganization of the Ministry of Information and Communication through the independence of the Committee of Information and Communication, the monitoring agency. The ministry of Information and Communication cannot function properly now.
