국내 초고속 인터넷 가입자 수의 증가와 더불어 이용서비스 형태에 있어서, 인터넷 뱅킹을 통한 각종 조회, 자금이체, 및 대출서비스와 전자상거래 등을 이용한 금전 결재 등이 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 또한 인터넷 보급률의 증가와 더불어 이용자의 피해도 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 따라서 정부에서는 이용자의 피해와 불만사항을 해소할 수 있는 강력한 인터넷서비스 품질개선 규제 노력이 필요하다. 또한 사업자들은 이용자와의 사전 서비스 계약(SLA: Service Level Agreement, 서비스 수준 협약)을 통한 철저한 품질개선 노력이 필요하다. 이용자와의 계약은 서비스 이용약관에 구체적인 사항을 명시하여 약속을 이행함으로써 고객의 불만을 해소해 나가야 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷 가입자 수의 증가에 따른 사업자들의 품질보장 노력이 미흡함을 지적하고, 국내 인터넷 사업자의 서비스 이용약관에 대해 조사하였으며, 이용자 보호 관점에서 구체적인 내용을 서비스 이용약관에 명시하여야 함을 강조한다.

Korea has been showing a high interest in convergence centered on information and communication technologies for the past 10 years. However, with successful convergence of broadcasting and telecommunication sectors, successful convergence cases such as IPTV have been excluded. In some fields, The performance that citizens can experience is limited. In addition, the combination of the Internet of things and the big data shows that infinite data in the natural and social environment surrounding service users can be created and utilized to create better services. However, the division between departments and departments, And the limitations of policies and systems that can promote convergence of information and communication technologies. Therefore, in order to create new industries through the fusion of the Internet of things and big data, it is necessary to investigate what kind of inhibitory enzymes are present, to investigate the problems, to solve the problems, to develop technologies for activating the Internet and big data, And suggests ways to utilize the policy to promote convergence of related technologies.

This paper analyzes internet access model between ISP, CP and end users where CP uses various technologies to provide direct access to ISP owning subscribers to consume its own contents in low cost and high quality. The level of access charge depends on the competitiveness of CP market. When CP market is perfect competitive, the level of access charge is identical to that of social optimum while when CP market is monopoly, the level of access charge is influenced by the sensitivity of the contents price to access charge for CP. The dead weight loss due to monopoly market in CP can be removed by the regulation of access charge. Socially optimal access charge in monopoly market of CP is lower than that in competitive market. This is because the regulator wants to set access price to lower level to reduce welfare loss from monopoly in CP market where CP determines the price to over marginal cost.

Social Network Service(SNS), which are an emerging form of political architecture, have been a political means to promote civic engagement and shape pubic opinions on social issues. Along with the influence of SNSs, the governmental control on the dissemination of information over SNSs has increased more and more. It would be ideal if the autonomous governance regulates SNSs which facilitate the networks of the dispersed people. It is the fact, though, that compulsory regulations under which the government controls impose policy and legal restrictions on political expressions. The current study addresses expressive and participatory nature embedded in technological characteristics of SNSs and discusses the problems of content regulations of political expression over SNSs. First of all, it is analyzed that light touch regulation or light touch monitoring should be applied to regulating content on SNSs, particularly political expressions. Constitutional Court proclaimed that legal restrictions on the Internet could infringe basic rights of the people and thus under unambiguous standards, the Doctrine of Clear and Present Danger should be applied to its content. Second, it is found that clarifying the definition of illegality in the application of legal restrictions is necessary to minimize the excessive misleading. Third, it is required that Korea Communications Standards Commission under the government control needs to change in determining the scope of illegal information. In a domestic level, there needs to be safeguards for the protection of the self-regulatory organization such as KISO to guarantee voluntary and autonomous regulatory practices.

Government has strictly regulated the concentration of the media market because the number of broadcasters was traditionally limited and they had significant influence on public. However as the media market converges with Internet's open architecture, scarcity and pervasiveness are losing their roles in justifying media regulation. This article examines market convergence and its impact on market concentration, and criticizes the current concentration regulation. The study indicates that market performance are much governed by firm's competitive actions than market structure, and that vertical integration contributes to service innovations, and that horizontal concentration makes it difficult to measure due to its even-changing market definition. Therefore, the regulation for market concentration should shift its focus from firm's market share to broadcaster's unfair acts driving market inefficiency and hurting content diversity.

As the industrial structure of the mobile telecommunications market is transforming into the ICT ecosystem centered on smartphones, the regulatory system conforming to the new ICT environment has become the main subject of discussion in key developed countries. The EU segmented the mobile phone service into wholesale and retail. Simultaneously, the EU appraised mobile telecommunication carriers' market domination in segmented markets to continuously improve the scheme to promote competition in the telecommunications market. In Korea, also, there is discussion about adopting the EU scheme to segment the mobile phone market definition more finely and taking measures to appraise the market domination in accordance with object appraisal criteria. As such, this study analyzes whether the current criteria for appraising the wholesale termination rate market domination under the ICT's domestic mobile telecommunication ecosystem is adequate and presents the rational improvement measures reflecting the theoretically suggested evaluation factors.

This article examines the legislation process of internet contents regulation through three phases from a policy network point of view. In the first phase, heated debates were initiated during the public hearings after the Ministry of Information & Communications announced its plan to introduce the internet contents grading system During the second phase, bills were submitted to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, where the bills were deliberated, passed, and promulgated. In the third phase, issues on enforcement ordinance were resolved as the degree of conflict was mitigated. Policy network during the first phase started in a conflicting and distributed form, but has evolved into a conflicting and centralized form. The appropriate closure of the debate on the internet contents regulation can be explained by the structure of governmental departments, the character of new technology, and the mobilization of general public.

As growth engines such as cloud, social networks, big data that can affect the security market have been grown, the information security industry has has also rapidly evolved. Reviewing information security policies carried out in USA, UK and Japan, this paper examines trends on the IoT-related information protection law and regulations that are at issue around the major developed countries. Through this research, we can get the implication that measures be taken as soon as possible to apply the existing data protection laws in the Internet of Things.

EU가 채택한 "전자통신 규제 패키지"는 종래의 정보통신 산업구조가 수직통합형에서 인터넷 기술발전에 따라 물리적인 네트워크, 전송서비스, 콘텐츠로 층별로 세분화되어 가고 있는 현실을 반영한 새로운 규제체계로 평가할 수 있다. EU는 가맹 국가에대해 이 법령을 2003년 7월까지 국내법에 적용하도록 권고하였으나, 15개 회원국 가운데 이 기한까지 국내법화를 실시한 나라는 5개국에 불과한 실정으로, 여기에 대한유럽 위원회의 대응이 주목된다. 우리나라도 이 법령의 문제점을 감안하면서 현실에맞는 통신. 방송 융합을 위한 규제 법령을 조속히 정비해야 할 것으로 기대한다.
