ISP identification issue trips up S. Korean firm

A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

South Korea's information ministry will allow cable network operator Powercomm to add new customers from Saturday after the company moved to address issues raised over its operations, a ministry official said on Friday.

The Ministry of Information and Communication had barred Powercomm, which launched its broadband Internet services last month, from adding new customers since late September. It said the company incorrectly identified itself to other service providers when exchanging Internet traffic.

The ministry had also asked Powercomm, 45.4 percent owned by long-distance call carrier Dacom Corp., to build backup routes in its nationwide networks.

"The identification problem has been addressed and Powercomm can start taking new subscribers where it completed setting up backup routes," an official at the ministry's telecommunication committee said.
