It is only natural, given that the competition environment and policy priorities in the telecommunications market vary from one country to another, that methods for assessing the cost of universal service obligations differ as well. In Korea, with the introduction in 2004 of LRIC for assessing the universal service cost, the national telecommunications authority is preparing for a substantial revision of the current cost assessment method, and discussions on details of changes to be introduced are in full swing. This paper will study estimation methods for universal service costs adopted by countries around the world and compare practices concerning two of the major issues surrounding the assessment of universal service obligation cost - universal service cost ceiling and intangible benefits - to provide directions for changes to be introduced to Korea's own cost estimation model.

Since telecommunications reforms began around world in the 1980s, many scholars have attempted to uncover its effects on the telecommunications sector. Nevertheless, research focusing largely on the impact of privatization on universal service has been relatively less frequent than other research on telecommunications reform such as the effect of competition on efficiency, investment, and universal service, and the impact of privatization on efficiency. From this perspective, this study attempted to explain the impact of the privatization of a state-owned telecommunications enterprise on universal service in Korea. This work may contribute to providing policy-makers and scholars in telecommunications with some useful policy suggestions by concretely illustrating how the privatization of Korea Telecom has influenced universal service policy formulation and the universal service system in Korea.

The decision of the USA to found the USF(Universal Service Fund) in 1983, which was aiming to support basic telecommunication services provision at affordable price in rural and high cost areas, has triggered many countries to introduce universal service support mechanisms. Korea has been also operating a universal service support mechanism since 2000 but there are lively controversies on the change of the existing support mechanism. This paper, first, will review universal service support mechanisms in major countries including USA, EU, Chile, Peru and Japan. Second, this paper will classify types of the mechanisms and review merits and demerits of the mechanisms. Finally, this paper will derive some implications for the improvement of domestic Mechanism.

정부를 포함한 공공부문이 보유하고 있는 공공정보와 관련된 논의로서 공공정보에 대한 공공(public)의 접근성 향상을 위한 여러 가지 방안 수립이 강조되고 있다 이 가운데 지금까지 각 국의 정보통신서비스의 정책 기반이 되어온 보편적 서비스(universal service)의 개념은 공공정보를 제공·이용하는데 필요한 논리적 정책 근거로 제안된다. 보편적 서비스란, 기본적인 서비스를 합리적인 요금으로 광범위하게 제공하는 것이라 볼 수 있으며 따라서 공공의 접근성을 보장해야 하는 공공정보의 이용과 밀접하게 관련되기 때문이다.

근대 사회의 보편적인 건축의 언어를 창출하려던 모더니즘의 신화가 무너지고 난 후에, 새로운 보편적 건축양식을 찾아보려는 노력은 현재까지 계속되어오고 있으나 현대건축에서 공유할 수 있는 보편적 건축어휘는 부재한 상황이다. 현대의 건축가들은 각자의 건축적 언어체계를 만들어내려는 노력과 더불어 여러 방면의 건축적 실험을 통해 새로운 건축의 규범을 정의하려는 노력에도 경주하고 있다. (중략)

1980년을 전후하여 카오스연구가 물리학에서 왕성하게 이루어졌다. 미국의 물리학자 파이겐바움(M. J. Feigenbaum)이 보편상수를 발견한 것이(1978) 중요한 계기가 되었다. 파이겐바움의 보편상수는 카오스현상에서 공통적으로 발견할 수 있다. 보편상수를 탐구하기 위해서는 주기, 배가, 파이겐바움 분기도에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 프로그래밍을 통하여 일반적으로 소개하고 있으므로, 프로그래밍에 대한 깊은 이해없이는 분기도를 탐구하기 어렵다. 프로그래밍을 통해서는 나타나는 결과만을 이해할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 학습자가 프로그래밍 이전에 엑셀의 기능을 이용하여 파이겐바움 분기도를 그릴 수 있는 방법을 제시하고, 파이겐바움의 주기에 대해 엑셀을 이용하여 시각적으로 이해할 수 있도록 한다.

One of the issues with the textbooks pertinent to the current study is whether or not the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) factors have been dealt to satisfy students with different aptitudes in learning the core objectives of the lessons. This study develops a modified version of the UDL analysis criteria from the cross curricular criteria to language teaching and learning and uses it to analyze the sequence of digital English textbooks to investigate the descriptive statistics of the UDL factors in the new textbooks. The result shows that the textbook is designed most favorably to the students with the talent of linguistic aptitude and less favorably to the students with other types of aptitudes. The sequence analysis shows that sentence/word length and appearance of new words are incrementally sequenced as students advance upper grades. However, the syntactic complexity of middle school curves up steeply which is different from the elementary school textbooks. The UDL analysis will provide learning factors to consider when designing digital English textbooks to cover different aptitudinal groups.

A rapidly increasing demand of voice and data through mobile telecommunication service and the development of technologies related with the service are sufficiently said to make the service become an indispensible communicating means, not just selective one. However, in the other side of the generalizing of mobile telecommunication service, there is said to be a worsening situation of unbalanced benefits due to the problem of information difference between the non. The more advanced mobile telecommunication service proceeds, the more deepens the problem, and it is generally known that the problem cannot be solved by the ability of free market itself as seen in the wired telecommunication market. Therefore, we need to set up a systematic policy of mobile telecommunication service for solving this problem, and also think over whether to include the service within the range of universal service. In this study, we examine the required factors for including the service within the range of universal service, and analyze the validity of the including in the view point of institutional aspects.
