Publishers are pursuing legal action and changing distribution strategies.

A South Korean lawmaker called for converting telecom fee discounts for vulnerable groups into a digital voucher system covering AI, digital content and device purchases. Lee Jeong-heon said the current discount scheme does not reflect changes in digital consumption.

He also raised concerns about funding burdens.
