초록

본 연구는 아프리카에서 사회경제 문제를 해결할 수 있는 인프라로 부상한 모바일을 통한 경제발전 전략을 제안한다. 이를 위해 빠르게 성장하고 있는 아프리카의 경제와 ICT 현황을 분석하고, 농업, 금융, 교육, 의료분야에서 활용되는 모바일 서비스 사례를 분석하고 경제발전 이론과 브로드밴드의 경제발전 기여 효과를 살펴보았다. 아프리카는 열악하고 비싼 유선 발전 단계를 뛰어넘어 모바일을 통해 정보화를 이루고, 이를 활용하여 ICT 기반의 압축적인 산업화를 이루는 발전 전략을 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 아프리카의 모바일을 통한 도약발전을 위해 모바일 브로드밴드 인프라 구축, 저가 스마트폰 보급을 위한 정책, 정부주도의 모바일 콘텐츠 보급이 필요하다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내 ICT기업들의 아프리카 시장 진출에 대한 인사이트를 제공할 것이다.

This study proposes strategies for economic development through mobile in Africa where mobile emerges as an infra to solve socioeconomic problems. It analyzes economy and ICT industry in Africa and studies several cases that are utilized in agriculture, finance, education, and healthcare. It also examines economic development theory and the impact of broadband on economic growth and development. It is necessary to leapfrog to mobile to achieve an information society and a compact industrialization based on ICT because fixed-line is very poor and expensive in Africa. Building a mobile broadband infra, supporting a dissemination of low-end smartphones and a government's support for mobile contents are necessary to achieve a leapfrogging development through mobile in Africa. The findings of this study provide additional insights for Korean ICT companies to consider a business in Africa.
