이남기 사의…허태열 "저포함 누구도 책임 안피해"
허태열 청와대 비서실장이 12일 박근혜 대통령의 미국 방문 기간 수행한 윤창중 전 대변인의 '성추행' 의혹에 대해 국민에게 공식 사과했다. 허 실장의 이날 회견은 새 정부 들어 청와대 차원에서 이뤄진 3번째 '사과 회견'이다. 이남기 홍보수석의 '윤창중 성추행 의혹'과 관련한 사과 브리핑이 있은 지 불과 이틀만이다. 윤 전 대변인의 직속상관인 이남기 홍보수석은 이 문제에 책임을 지고 허태열 비서실장에게 귀국 직후인 지난 10일 사의를 표명했으며, 허 실장 자신도 사태의 향방에 따라 책임을 피하지 않겠다는 입장을 밝혔다. 청와대의 이러한 입장정리는 이번 사태가 윤 전 대변인의 '성추행' 의혹을 넘어 청와대가 윤 전 대변인의 중도귀국에 개입했다는 '도피 방조' 의혹으로까지 걷잡을 수 없이 번진 가운데 나온 것이다. 지난 10일 이 수석의 어정쩡한 사과로는 국민의 분노를 잠재우기 힘들며 중도귀국을 놓고 참모들간에 진실공방을 벌이는 작금의 불미스러운 사태를 조속히

민주당은 12일 윤창중 전 청와대 대변인의 '성추행 의혹'과 이를 둘러싼 청와대 이남기 홍보수석과 윤 전 대변인의 진실공방과 관련, 허태열 비서실장을 비롯한 수석비서관들의 총사퇴와 청와대 전면개편을 주장했다. 민주당은 또 박근혜 대통령의 직접 사과를 거듭 촉구하고 국회 차원의 진상조사를 위한 청문회 개최를 새누리당에 요구했다. 박기춘 원내대표는 이날 국회에서 기자회견을 갖고 이번 사건에 대해 "초유의 국격 실추사건에서 콩가루 청와대의 국기문란사건으로 되어가고 있다"면서 "파장을 최소화해야 할 참모들이 본인의 입지만을 생각해 대통령에게 더 부담을 주는 행태를 보이고 있다"고 비판했다. 박 원내대표는 "성추행 사건의 전말뿐만 아니라 국내 도피과정도 낱낱이 밝혀져야 한다"면서 "그 조사를 민정수석에게 맡겨 놓을 수 없다"고 지적했다. 그러면서 "국회가 나서 '윤창중 성추행 사건 및 축소 은폐의혹 진상조사 청문회'를 열어야 한다"면서 "새누리당도 반대할 이유가 없다고

삼성전자, 5세대 이동통신 핵심기술 세계 최초 개발
삼성전자가 5세대(5G) 이동통신 환경에서 데이터를 송수신할 수 있는 핵심 기술을 세계 최초로 개발했다. 5G는 최대 속도가 수십Gbps(초당 기가비트)에 이르러 현재의 4세대(4G) 롱텀에볼루션(LTE)의 75Mbps(초당 메가비트)보다 수백 배 빠른 차세대 통신망이다. 이를 이용하면 초고화질 영화 파일을 1초 이내에 전송할 수 있고, 데이터양이 큰 3차원(3D) 영화·게임을 전송하는 데도 문제가 없다. 삼성전자는 28㎓의 초고주파 대역에서 1Gbps(초당 기가비트) 이상의 전송속도와 최대 2㎞에 이르는 전송 거리를 달성한 기술을 개발·시연하는 데 성공했다고 12일 밝혔다. 5G는 이동통신용 주파수 자원의 고갈 문제를 해결하고 지금보다 빠른 속도를 구현하기 위해 현재 이동통신용으로 쓰는 수백㎒∼수㎓ 대역보다 높은 대역을 쓴다.그러나 6㎓ 이상 초고주파를 이용해 기가급 데이터를 송수신하는 기술은 지금까지 어디서도 개발하지 못했다. 초고주파는 파장이 짧아 전파
