Vietnam Jails S. Korean for Setting up VoIP Services

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

A Vietnamese court has sentenced a South Korean businessman to 16 years' jail for illegally setting up internet-based telephone services in the communist country, a justice official said.

Ko Don Chul, 46, was found guilty of setting up the telecommunications systems in five locations in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City that used the Internet and avoided government telephone charges on overseas calls, the official said.

The Hanoi people's court on Thursday sentenced Ko after a two-day trial in which prosecutors claimed his activities had led to losses of over 1.1 million dollars in government revenues, said a court official asking not to be named.
