mobile gaming leads to suicide?
Those "yutes" in asia sure love their added value digital services on their mobile phones.
A story from the China Post talks about the recent suicide by a 16 year old korean who racked up a phone bill for over $3,800 by playing games. Apparently the student killed himself once he received the bill.
In response to this horror, Korean mobile telecom companies are changing their rates and offers. SK Telecom has even said that they will now offer an unlimited data plan for the equivalent of about $31.
