무선 통신 및 컴퓨터 기술의 발달은 사용자로 하여금 이동 중에도 휴대용 컴퓨터를 소지하고 무선 통신을 통해 다양한 비즈니스 트랜잭션을 수행할 수 있는 모바일 오피스(mobile of Hee)환경을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 무선 통신과 휴대용 컴퓨터의 고유한 특성으로 인해 이동 비즈니스 트랜잭션 처리에 유선망에서 사용되는 트랜잭션 처리 모델을 그대로 적용할 경우 트랜잭션 응답시간이 길어지고 데이터 관리가 복잡해지며, 통신 요금이 증가하는 등의 문제점이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 고가의 무선통신 비용 및 이동 컴퓨터의 배터리 소모를 절감하기 위해 접속단절을 효과적으로 이용하여 회사와 이동 세일즈 사원들 간의 효율적인 비즈니스 트랜잭션 처리 시스템 구축을 위한 트랜잭션 처리 모델을 제안한다.

국내 이동통신사업자들은 자사 고객의 충성도를 높이기 위해 사용요금의 일정비율에 해당하는 포인트와 제휴사의 서비스를 제공하는 멤버십 제도를 운영하고 있다. 최근 포인트에 대한 소비자의 권리의식이 높아지면서 통신사업자들 뿐만 아니라 포인트를 발행하는 타 업종에서도 사회적 이슈로 제기되고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 이동통신사가 운영하는 멤버십 제도의 운영 실태를 살펴보고 이용자를 보호할 수 있는 방안들을 검토해 보고자 한다.

현재 이용되고 있는 이동통신 시스템은 기지국 구축 비용이 높아 무선 인터넷의 이용 요금이 높고 단말기 화면이 작기 때문에 콘텐츠의 제약이 발생하는 등 문제점이 존재하여 초고속 무선인터넷을 제공하기에는 한계가 있다. 그리고, 기존에 사용되고 있는 ISM 대역을 이용한 무선 LAN 기술은 홈 LAN 등에는 가능하나 전파간섭, 좁은 사용영역 등으로 공중서비스 제공에 역시 한계가 있다. 이를 위해서 무선 LAN보다 셀 크기가 크고 중저속의 이동성을 지원하면서 심리스(seamless)한 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 초고속 휴대용 인터넷(High-speed Portable internet: HPi) 시스템이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이와 같이 급증하는 무선 인터넷 서비스 요구에 효과적으로 대처하기 위한, 휴대성과 이동성이 보장되며 저렴한 요금을 지향하는 새로운 형태의 무선데이터 시스템인 초고속 휴대용 인터넷 시스템 기술에 관련된 국내외 기술 및 표준화 동향을 설명하고, 서비스 특징, HPi 시스템 구조 및 기능 등에 대하여 기술한다.

This paper finds that the ultimate source of problems facing Korean mobile telecommunications such as excessive subsidies of handsets, waste of resources, and a vicious circle of expensive handsets and high prices for services, is bundling of handset and subscription. The analysis suggests that bundling causes consumers to confuse about prices of handsets and services, and firms focus on handset subsidy competition rather than on upgrading service qualities and lowering prices due to anti-competitive effects of bundling. Because most of the cost of bundling is passed on to consumers, the welfare of consumers decline. In particular, equality among consumers worsens due to price discriminations. To resolve these problems, unbundling of handset and subscription is a necessity. Mixed bundling allowing separate selling of handsets under bundling does not seem to work as a cure because bundling tends to be a dominant strategy. The best regulatory policy is a complete separation of handset and subscription.

As VoIP systems move to wireless environments with much higher average packet loss rates than wired networks, it becomes less possible for the network to assure a reasonable QoS. So, real-time quality monitoring for mobile VoIP applications is an important issue to be explored. In this paper, we explore perceptual quality dependency on two parameters: the burst loss rate and average burst length. Also, we propose a simple 'moving average' approach with $\alpha$ aiming to measure those parameters on real-time basis. In order to find how accurately the two parameters measured estimate the real perceptual quality, we compare actual measured PESQ scores with estimated value by matching the measured quality metric to the trained MOS table. Finally, we propose the quality-based accounting system, which can set obvious continuities between quality and billing.

The government has the responsibility to prevent abuses of monopoly and promote competition in order to maximize consumer welfare. The government should address the asymmetry in the information as much as possible and ensure consumer choice. The subsidy seems to reduce the burden on the consumer service charges and handset prices but it actually distorts the market through price discrimination. The government caused the principal-agent problem by neglecting their appropriate role to prevent distortion of the mobile telecom market. The money used as subsidy is part of excess profit and could be transferred to down the price of mobile phone and charges and it would become a benefit to consumers. Separate announcement of subsidies by Mobile Communications Terminal Distribution Structure Improvement Act is a little developed policy but it was not actually realized. The market price close to that from perfect competition structure is plausible, ultimately.

This paper computes the economic impact of handset subsidies using the recent Input-Output Tables and compares the results with other alternatives which telecommunications companies can choose. The first scenario is that telecommunications companies give handset subsidies to consumers and sales agents. The second is that the companies do not give the subsidies to them, but instead spend the same amount of subsidy on facility investment. The third is that the companies lower the prices of their mobile communications services and consumers spend the saved expenses on other goods and services. The result is that the production, value added, import, job, employment inducement coefficients of the first scenario is larger than those of the second and third scenarios. The reason is as follows. The handset subsidy results in the incentive to consumers for handset purchase or the incentive for sales agents to sell the telecommunication services of the companies. The former has larger production and import inducement effect, and the latter also has larger value-added, job, and employment inducement effect than those of other scenarios.

Mobile VoIP(이하 m-VoIP) 서비스의 도입에 따른 이동통신 사업자에게 미치는 영향을 크게보면 음성통화 서비스의 요금정책의 영향, 상호접속제도의 영향 그리고 음성통화 수익성에 영향으로 나누어 생각해 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 m-VoIP 도입에 따른 이통사의 수입변화를 분석함으로서 그 영향력을 파악 하였다. 분석방법은 이통사의 수입을 접속료 수입과 음성통화 수입으로 나누고, 각각의 손실분 및 이익분을 추산해보는 방법을 사용 하였다.

This paper analyses technical and economical conditions which activate the use of mobile communication spectrum not to limit the growth of mobile broadband service because of mobile big data traffic and proposes the method which activate the use of mobile communication spectrum. To activate new mobile communication spectrum the expenditure and income of investment should be balanced. The activation of new mobile communication spectrum to process mobile big data traffic depends on technical and economical conditions, internal and external factors of service provider. The investment expenditure is relate to CAPEX, OPEX which is internal factors of service provider and to spectrum price which is external factor of service. The investment income is relate to tariff system which is internal factors of service provider and to spectrum neutrality which is external factor of service provider. The activation of new mobile communication spectrum can be implemented when the investment expenditure and investment income meet the balance including the spectrum price in the investment expenditure and the tariff system which is able to extend network and the income based on traffic increase by external contents in the investment income.
