Calling Party Pays(CPP) and Receiving Party Pays(RPP) are the models for billing mobile telecom services. CPP makes the person who originates the call liable for the per-minute charges, even if the caller is not a mobile telephone customer. However, RPP makes the person who receives a call pay the per-minute charges associated with that call. This paper collected and analyzed some foreign cases to understand the impact of CPP and RPP. This paper also analyzes the key issues that will face the industry in implementing CPP and RPP.

The growth of fixed telephony has been steady but unexceptional. The number of mobile telephone subscribers, however, has increased dramatically throughout the decade. The increasing prevalence of mobile communications, in conjunction with the relatively high penetration of fixed telephony, will cause the market for converged services to become significant in coming decade. The current fixed and mobile regulatory regimes are very different. Regulation of the fixed market tends to focus on monitoring the activities of incumbent operator and ensuring that other operators can compete on a fair basis. Mobile markets have historically been more competitive, and the asymmetric nature of regulation of these markets has not been as prevalent as for fixed communications. The purpose of this paper is to identify the fixed-mobile convergence and to suggest the future regulatory principles for fixed-mobile convergence.

전력선 이용 통신(PLC : Power Line Communication)는 전화선, CATV망, 위성에 이어 제4의 통신망 산업으로 급부상하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 젤라인 및 피엘콤의 PLC를 중심으로 기술특성 및 인터넷 접속가격 비교을 통해 PLC 와 다른 대체상품과의 경쟁력을 분석하였다. PLC는 기술적인 측면에서 제한된 전송전력, 높은 부하 간섭, 가변감쇄, 그리고 임피던스 레벨등의 단점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 PLC는 다른 대체상품에 비해 속도 및 가격측면에서 절대 및 비교우위를 가지고 있다. 따라서 기술적인 문제점들을 해결하여 상용화에 성공할 경우 기존의 인터넷접속 서비스 상품과 경쟁하는 제3의 유선통신망으로 등장하면서 기존 통신서비스 시장의 구도를 크게 바꾸어 놓을 것으로 전망된다.

최근 전화서비스의 수요 증가세 감소, 전화서비스의 다양한 제공 방식의 필요성, 통신기술의 발달 등으로 일반 전화서비스에 지능망의 기능이 결합된 전화부가서비스가 등장하 였다. 전화부가서비스의 도입 효과로는 이용자의 세분화된 욕구의 충족, 다양한 신규서비스의 신속한 도입 및 다양한 서비스의 제공 가능성 등을 들 수 있다. 본 고에서는 2000년 10월 개정된 상호접속기준에 따라 서비스제공사업자가 접속이용사업자로 규정되어 있는 5가지 전화부가서비스 즉, 전국대표번호서비스, 개인번호서비스, 카드계열서비스, 수신자요금부담서비스, 그리고 정보제공서비스에 대한 개념과 그 제공절차, 과금체계를 비교하였고, 나아가 전화부가서비스를 활성화시키기 위한 주요 이슈에 대하여 고찰하였다.

전통적으로 정보통신산업에서는 요금규제방식으로 최종 서비스 시장에 대해서는 보수율규제, 중간재 시장에 대해서는 공통원가 배분방식을 채용하는 것이 일반적 경향이었다. 그러나 최근 선진국에서는 전자의 시장에 대해서는 가격상한규제, 후자의 시장에 대해서는 장기증분 원가방식으로 옮겨가고 있다. 본 고에서는 이들 최종 서비스 가격에 대한 두 가지 규제방식과 접속료에 대한 두 가지 규제방식을 짝 짓기 하여 4개의 규제조합을 만들고, 각 규제조합이 정부의 규제목표에 어느 정도 기여하는지를 논의하고 우리 나라의 현실에 부합되는 규제조합을 제시하였다.

This paper examines the causality issue between telecommunications investment and economic growth for South Korea by applying recently developed time series techniques. Tests for unit roots, co-integration, and Granger causality are presented. The results show that hi-directional causality runs from telecommunications investment to economic growth for South Korea. This means that increased telecommunications investment directly affects economic growth and an increase in real income also influences telecommunications investment. The study also discusses the implications of the results for addressing telecommunications policy in South Korea.

This paper aims to provide a better understanding about how Information and Communication technology (ICT) has diffused. The investigation is conducted with the consideration of ICT evolution in terms of technological change and usage pattern. The definition used is presented as 'the ICT is a process of convergence of technologies between information-processing and information-transforming technologies, mainly due to the advent of microelectronlcs'. After examining technological changes of ICT, the diffusion path of ICT is traced through the usage ratio in total input and/or investment based on Input-Output tables (I-O). It shows that the evolution of ICT from the change of usage pattern is an up-and-down usage pattern rather than a uni-modal usage time path. With this recognition, the diffusion index is prepared.

At the present time the desalination technology of sea water for portable water in islands employs the RO method. The technology which needs complicated pretreatment processes with various chemicals can generate secondary water pollution and the high maintenance costs such as replacements of filters and membranes make islanders nearly impossible to operate. The MVRS technology for desalination of sea water however has several advantages such as constant production of quality portable water and capability of managing broad operating load. The variable-speed turbo-type vapor compressors employed in the system can utilize wind energy which is abundant in most Korean islands. Salt as a by-product can be produced by applying solar energy to the salt-concentrated waste water from the system. This paper discusses the relating topics such as technical and economical viabilities of the new MVRS desalination system for the production of portable water and salt as a by-product using new & renewable sources of energy.

A R&D project evaluation method has been applied for the national nuclear R&D projects in a developing-country setting. In the methodology, Saaty's analytic hierarchy process model is used to evaluate and rank of the selected nuclear R&D project which have a wide range of objectives and characteristics. The criteria used for evaluation related specifically to the Korea's evaluation needs and culture, and they are weighted according to their relative importance as perceived by the evaluator of the R&D project. As a real-world case of evaluation, we elicited and reproduced the evaluation process of the nuclear R&D projects which is going under the research process. As the results of the paper suggests, the methodology can be applied to the evaluation of the R&D projects and has much potential.

Evaluating the results of National Nuclear R&D projects has critical importance in nuclear management aspect. This paper uses multi-attribute utility theory as a basis for obtaining a value Index to assess the results of nuclear R&D projects and applies the theory to a specific Korean case study. To structure and quantify basic values for the . evaluation, we elicited important attributes, then refined and structured them into a hierarchy. A multi-attribute index is constructed as a multi-attribute utility function, based on value judgments provided by a group of technical experts, policy makers, and decision-makers. The implications of the results are also discussed. We found that the work and results can provide valuable insights for assessment of nuclear R&D consequences.

This Paper analyses characteristics of the numerical controller industry in market formation and the flow of information between users and producers and the characteristic of knowledge base of the industry and discusses the difficulties derived, from the characteristics, in accumulation of technological capability In market formation between users and producers, the multi-layered market is not favorable to domestic producers in that lower end market is not large enough to provide cradle market to them which produce inferior quality and lower price than imported products. The credibility of the performance of a product is difficult to prove until a critical mass of products are sold. Therefore gaining market share is deterred by unproven credibility of the performance of the product. The flow of information between users and producers is limited. The flow of information on users environment through mass market to producers is essential for improving credibility of a product. The nature of knowledge base is tacit and the means of knowledge transmission is limited. Technological licensing and reverse engineering, which have been conventional means of knowledge transmission, are not useful in the numerical controller industry. These characteristics provide conditions of vicious circle in accumulation of technological capability of the numerical controller industry. It is conjectured that these characteristics are derived from the fact that the numerical controller is the result of IT based technological convergence in controlling machining process. This paper argues that these characteristics of the industry challenges existing approach to R&D management and framework of science and technology Policy.

This paper presents an econometric model for measuring basic research capacity index(BRCI) of each OECD countries and analyses the gap in terms of time lag measured and forecasted in connection with factor analysis and BRCI progress function. Based on the analysis, gross domestic expenditure on R&D(GERD), total R&D personnel, higher education expenditure on R&D(HERD) and number of science and technical papers based on SCI are more effective than other factors to BRCI. Also, BRCI progress function shows that 29 years is needed for Korea to catch up the level of German's BRCI of year 1998. But, it's impossible for Korea to catch up US and Japan. Therefore, with restricted scientific resources, Korea's own strategy for strengthening basic research capacity is going to be more important in 21st century.

For the greenhouse 9as emissions' reduction of fossil fuel, the energy policy on the promotion of alternative energy should be implemented. Accordingly, national policies on the development and promotion of alternative energy were made, and related laws and regulations are being made, and comprehensive plans should be followed. The policies and strategies for promoting the renewable energy have been insufficient in comparison with those of the developed countries. This paper suggests the spread extension plan of renewable generation through generation development and priority purchase.
