2011년 7월 초 기준 전 세계적으로 218개의 이동통신사업자들이 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 투자를 진행하고 있으며 24개 사업자들이 상용 LTE 서비스를 제공 중에 있다. 상용 LTE 서비스를 제공하고 있는 통신사업자에 있어 수익원천은 통신요금에 국한되고 있다. 해외의 LTE 요금제는 데이터 전송의 처리량 및 이용제한에 따른 QoS(Quality of Service) 요금 모델이라고 할 수 있다. LTE 서비스를 제공하고 있는 이동통신사들은 서비스 기능이나 품질별로 다양한 계층화된 요금제를 제공하여 사용자들이 선택할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 결국 이러한 요금체계에서는 이동통신사업자들이 LTE의 특성을 가장 잘 반영하고 있는 서비스를 개발해 이용자들이 상위 요금수준을 선택할 수 있도록 하는가가 LTE 활성화의 핵심과제가 되고 있다. 본 고에서는 해외 주요 이동통신사업자의 LTE 서비스 요금제 동향을 분석하고 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

With rapid development Telematics industry, the concern of dynamic road pricing system is increasing. In this study, the change of traffic flows according to traffic information and variation of congestion road prices related to the dynamic road pricing was analyzed. In this study, three facts were unfolded. First, high delay penalty and low delay penalty drivers are shown different reaction for the different congestion road prices. Second, the higher congestion road prices the more drivers convert their route from toll road to non toll road. Third, high penalty drivers are converting to toll road than low delay penalty drivers under same congestion road prices. This study has reached the conclusion that dynamic congestion pricing has a high possibility for traffic management.

Current residential electricity rates, which are charged regardless of consumption patterns, have a problem of restricting consumer choice. In order to improve the problem, the Korea government started a demonstration project based on Time-Of-Use(TOU) pricing from September 2019. However, the analysis of its effect is still limited. This study analyzed the changes and limitations of TOU pricing compared to the current progressive pricing. The result showed that the high rate payer's bill decreased by up to 33.8 % while the low rate payer's bill increased by up to 117.7 %. This can lead to the problem of accepting electricity rates from a social point of view. In this study, TOU pricing based on progressive pricing was proposed to overcome the problem. The results presented the rate changes depending on the power consumption patterns while decreasing the average rate change from 32 % to -1.9 %. It means that the proposed pricing can support the TOU effect while maintaining the framework of the existing progressive pricing.

Statistics shows that 80% of freeway users travel less than 50km, and only 8% of them do over 100km. It means that the freeway is used for commuting. As a result, the freeway is not used efficiently and social cost is high. The current toll system aims for the efficient usage of the freeway by restraining short-distance trips and inducing long-distance ones. Thus, policies such as minimum toll system and discount for long-distance trips have been carried out. However. these two policies take no account of demand management between the freeway and alternative roads. They merely consider the compensation for charge on users, so the assessment of discount rate and distinction of distance are not reasonable. Consequently, not only the effective demand management but also the evaluation of those policies has been difficult to be achieved. The objective of this paper is to analyze those problematic policies and to establish a reasonable and improved toll system. In addition, this study presents the methodology to minimize social cost, which can be achieved by reducing short trips and encouraging long ones on the freeway. A new methodology of freeway toll system is applied and the results are presented.

The new transit fare in the Seoul Metropolitan is basically determined based on the distance-based fare system (DBFS). The total fare in DBFS consists of three parts- (1) basic fare, (2) transfer fare, and (3) extra fare. The fixed amount of basic fare for each mode is charged when a passenger gets on a mode, and it proceeds until traveling within basic travel distance. The transfer fare may be added when a passenger switches from the present mode to another. The extra fare is imposed if the total travel distance exceeds the basic travel distance, and after that, the longer distance the more extra fare based on the extra-fare-charging rule. This study proposes an algorithm for finding minimum fare route in DBFS. This study first exploits the link-label-based searching method to enable shortest path algorithms to implement without network expansion at junction nodes in inter-modal transit networks. Moreover, the link-expansion technique is adopted in order for each mode's travel to be treated like duplicated links, which have the same start and end nodes, but different link features. In this study, therefore, some notations associated with modes can be saved, thus the existing link-based shortest path algorithm is applicable without any loss of generality. For fare calculation as next steps, a mathematical formula is proposed to embrace fare-charging process using search process of two adjacent links illustrated from the origin. A shortest path algorithm for finding a minimum fare route is derived by converting the formula as a recursive form. The implementation process of the algorithm is evaluated through a simple network test.

This paper is to estimate and analyze the price elasticities of demand for mobile calls. We used the data for the period from January 2000 to December 2005 on a monthly basis. Data used are call minutes to mobile-originating(ML+MM), tariff for dispatch of fixed and mobile calls($P_L,P_M$), income(Y), and subscriber for mobile(N). In order to provide robust estimates of price elasticities, we have used two different econometric models. One is a Dynamic model which includes a lagged dependent variable and so can differentiate between long-un and short-run price elasticities using the Generalized Method of Moments(GMM). The other is a Box-Cox transformation model which is one of the most useful methods. Box-Cox transformation model shows that elasticity changes with the lapse of time. The results are as follow : Not including the price indices for land-originating, the estimate is overestimated otherwise. In Box-Cox transformation case, price elasticity had been steadily declining. And this result shows that mobile services had been changed necessities increasingly in Korea.

Telecommunication costs have been increasing successively in Korean households. Even though there are a lot of issues related to the high charges of mobile telecommunication services, plausible solutions have not been provided yet. 99% of Koreans use mobile phones and it is the highest in the world, but charges are relatively high. This situation may be brought by the government policy that supports 'three companies system.' Even the least efficient company might sustain by a tacit bottom price policy and the government did not introduce MVNO into the market. The government can make mobile phone charge system consider cost only in a proper manner and constrain marketing costs to the rational level. And it can reduce mobile charges and rights of consumers must be respected by restraining too much complicated rates system. Fairness of mobile phone charges could be achieved by mobile phone market structure improvement through active introduction of MVNOs and reduction of excessive marketing costs. If proper market structure and policy management are secured, 30% cut of charges could be achieved. And mobile service bills may be made more acceptable if charge is based on a measured rate system according to the amount of data usage.

This study verified the water saving effect in case of raising water rate depends on water rate awareness. The study results showed that the perceived appropriacy of government aid(p<.001), home water rate(p<.01), water rate pricing system, water rate, water rate diffrences depend on use and area(p<.05) significantly affected the degree of agreement of raising water rate. Also, education, residence, member of household, occipation, monthly household income, monthly water rate significantly affected the degree of agreement of raising water rate, consumer behavior for saving water. This study provided implication for water rate pricing policy by analyzing the water saving effect in case of raising water rate depends on water rate awareness and revealing the determinants of the degree of agreement of raising water rate.
