In the new year, prosecutors in South Korea will begin issuing indictments via text message. This would be handy in DC, too — but only if our congresscritters were smart enough to figure out how to use the SMS feature on their mobile phones. Snip:
In a country where about 75 percent of the population carries mobile phones, prosecutors felt it was time to move away from sending legal notices on paper and send them electronically instead, said Lee Young- pyo, an administrative official.
"Most people in South Korea have mobile phones and since the notices don't reach them immediately by regular mail, this is a more definite way for the individuals to know they have received a legal notice,"
Lee said.
