US LNG exports surge but will buyers in China turn up?
Investing.com -- South Korea’s state-run National Geographic Information Institute has postponed its decision on whether to allow Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) to export the country’s high-precision map data overseas.
The institute has extended the review period for 60 days, according to a statement. This extension comes in response to Google’s request for additional time to further examine measures and solutions related to addressing national security concerns.
Google has been seeking permission to transfer 1:5,000 scale maps to its data centers outside South Korea. The tech giant’s previous requests in 2007 and 2016 were rejected by South Korean authorities, who cited security reasons for their decisions.
The high-precision map data remains a sensitive issue for South Korea due to national security implications.
