South Korean mobile operators introduce unlimited plans after teen suicide

Link: Briefly: Youth’s suicide prompts mobile phone bill limits – Technology – International Herald Tribune. 

South Korean mobile phone companies said Monday that they were offering new calling plans after a 16-year-old boy in Iksan killed himself because of a huge phone bill.
