Korean government to take action over soaring DRAM costs, including monitoring markets and pricing — internet data plans to be restructured and recycled PCs to be distributed to vulnerable groups

The Korean government is addressing the surge in DRAM costs by implementing measures such as market monitoring and pricing oversight. Additionally, plans include restructuring internet data plans and distributing recycled PCs to vulnerable groups. The government aims to reuse more computers used by public agencies and expand support programs for providing PCs to those in need. Measures will also be taken to reduce telecommunication fees and PC prices, with investigations into possible illegal activities in the DRAM, PC, and laptop markets. The Ministerial Task Force for Special Management of People's Living Costs is leading these efforts to stabilize the market affected by the global RAM and NAND crisis.
