KT’s decision to bar internet access for Samsung’s Smart TV may end up in court. Samsung has hinted they may sue KT for compensation of damages as they enforced an internet restriction for apps and services accessing from Samsung Smart TV.
A long-term infliction of such unfair treatment could incur substantial damages on our consumers, which is why we are planning to swiftly resolve the issue through a possible compensation lawsuit.
KT is the largest internet service operator in South Korea and about 250,000 Smart TV owners will be affected with the decision.
Korea Telecommunications Commission (equivalent to FCC) said that KT’s move was inappropriate and may penalize them for violating laws.
