LG CNS' chief Kim Dae-hoon is set to appear as a witness on the parliamentary inspection of the administration with regard to the poor design of national disaster safety communication network.
Noh Woong-rae, lawmaker of main opposition party New Politics Alliance for Democracy said, "We requested ISP provider LG CNS' chief to figure out the controversy centering on the poor design of the safety network and budge waste."
LG CNS was selected as ISP provider to make the design, beating SK C&C and KT in the national disaster safety communications network worth 2 trillion won last October.
The business was pushed by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and Ministry of Public Safety and Security in a bid to save golden time during the disaster following the Sewol tragedy.
However, concerns about the waste in budget have been raised about the compability of technology standard and operation method. PS-LTE is set to be decided next March and Ministry of Public Safety and Security is set to run the network.
