Request civil documents via mobile phones

To reduce the paper usage, South Korean "mobile phone users can request civil documents using their handsets." This is a nice way to reduce paper usage, however, didn't we think originally that personal computers would do this - but this never turned out right?

The ministry will also start sending text messages about civil affairs and announcements to mobile phones and other portable communication devices.

This appears to become a trend amongst governments - Australia intends to increase the number of military recruits by bombaring potential soldiers, and now Korea. Korea's intention to reduce paper is commendable, but then, aren't both governments legalising official spam?
