This study explores reasonable alternatives to internet interconnection policy. Due to the development of information and communication technology, patterns of the Internet usage are changing rapidly, including increase of video streaming services. For this reason, there is a lively discussion of the Internet interconnection policy, which integrates various Internet service operators into one ecosystem. We conducted an Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) analysis with 16 experts in government/public, and academic sectors, and alternative selection criteria and their corresponding alternatives and detailed tasks were evaluated. According to the results, the most important alternative selection criteria was a "fair charge against foreign service operators", and the most desirable alternative was "partial revise". Moreover, the experts responded that "reassessment of the principle of the charge" is the most urgent task to improve the Internet interconnection policy.

This paper discusses current internet interconnection issues according to radical changes of internet traffic pattern. In this context, the recovery of network investment cost for network provider becomes hot issue. For recovery issues of investment cost, there are many disputes among stake holders. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate this issues in the context of internet interconnection. Also, it is important to develop the current regulation about internet interconnection under traffic changing environments. This paper selects four issues to deal with and analyzes the present situations and problems about these issues, and provides alternatives for internet interconnection corresponding to these four issues.

Internet and mobile traffic continues to surge exponentially in recent years due to popularization of smart devices, the appearance of various internet services carrying large amount of traffic from richer content and applications. This phenomenon leaded to various network problems such as the congestion delay, the non-balanced traffic ratio between ISPs, the continuous network investment cost and the Internet access problems. In light of changed data-driven communication ecosystem, There are growing concerns by both academia and industry that settlement-free peering and full transit regime have the limitations such as not only difficulties in maintaining mutual benefits but also difficulties in securing investment incentives for upgrading network performance and quality. Thus, it becomes more necessary for introducing the evolved internet interconnection regime which can fulfill the All-IP network environment. This study derives core issues regarding internet interconnection regime in Korea and suggest new evolved alternatives based on three point of view(traffic optimization, cost optimization, network investment optimization) through the empirical analysis.

As the mobile telecommunications service market grows rapidly, interconnection opportunities from the fixed network to the mobile network increase and the land-to-mobile (LM) interconnection charge becomes critical factor in competition between fixed and mobile telecommunications service providers. This paper aims to evaluate the LM interconnection charge level in Korea in comparison with those of 36 foreign countries and suggest the regression model for the LM interconnection charge. Based on the regression analysis, we found that regulation, GDP per capita, wire telephone penetration, liberalization are identified as significantly affecting factors on the LM interconnection charge level, and the level of the LM interconnection charge is comparatively low.

1990년대 중반에 들어서면서 세계 정보통신시장은 급격한 변화의 소용돌이 속으로 들어가고 있다. 주요 선진국들은 급격한 환경변화에 적극적으로 대응하기 위하여 세계적 규모의 자유화, 국경을 초월한 인수 합병, 전자정부 구현, 독립규제기관 설립, 요금규제제도 개편, 상호접속, 번호이동성, 보편적서비스 제도개선 등을 통해 시장구조 개편에 박차를 가하고 있다. 이에 더하여 세계 각국에서는 서비스분야에서 이동통신서비스를 비롯하여 인터넷, 전자상거래, 디지털방송이 급속히 확산되고 있어 기존의 정보통신 산업구조에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 그리고 IMT 2000 표준화 및 Y2k 대응문제는 정보통신 분야에서 전세계적인 관심을 불러일으키고 있다. 한편 국경과 업종을 초월한 글로벌 네트워크의 구축이 주요 선진국을 중심으로 이루어지고 있다.
