Skype Faces Accusation in South Korea
Skype is being accused of illegally drawing subscribers in South Korea without registering with the government. Skype and its Korean partner Auction violated domestic regulations by going ahead with their Internet phone business without getting approval from the government.
As of now only free of charge calls between PCs is available to Skype subscribers in Korea as the company is still to install proper payment system out here. In case the companies are found guilty of the charges they would be subjected to a maximum of 150 million won in fines or three years in prison.
