South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Telecommunications Commission will strengthen its response to unfair sales practices after the abolition of the Mobile Device Distribution Act. From next month, it will monitor how the three mobile carriers pay incentives to agencies and retailers, and will focus inspections on practices that force or induce customers to sign up for high-priced plans or add-on services. It will also strengthen plan-change alerts, improve comparisons of extra subsidies and expand user reporting mechanisms.

South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Telecommunications Commission recommended that broadcasters covering the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games avoid excessive duplicate scheduling and instead stagger programming by channel and platform. It approved the recommendation at a written meeting on Sept. 4. Exceptions apply to the opening and closing ceremonies and matches involving South Korea’s national team. The commission also urged active coverage of less popular sports and new events such as e-sports, and recommended expanded broadcasts of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games.
