KT loses more than 100,000 customers in week after contract fee waiver

KT's subscriber outflow is accelerating after it decided to waive contract termination fees in the wake of an unauthorized small-payment incident. From Dec. 31 to Jan. 6, 107,499 customers moved their numbers from KT to other carriers. On Jan. 6 alone, 28,444 customers switched, a daily record. Most of those leaving moved to SK Telecom, and the industry expects the trend to continue through Jan. 13.
