sk-telecom-logo-02Korea's Communication Commission is planning on suspending SK Telecom's ability to sign up new customers for a seven day period, and it looks like that sanction might hit right on the launch date (April 10th) of Samsung's Galaxy S6. With SK Telecom accounting for 50% of wireless market share in South Korea, that's a tough blow to take for Samsung.

SK Telecom was found to have to been offering illegal subsidies for customers, so the KCC will issue this suspension and a hefty fine to deter the company from doing anything similar again. They'll announce when the suspension will be later on March 30th, so we'll find out whether or not Samsung's newest flagship will get caught in the crossfire.
