The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly changed the Lifeline Program, a telecommunications rate discount program for low-income Americans. As the reliance on online activities such as remote work, distance education, and online shopping grows because of the spread of COVID-19, there is a concern that the digital divide will widen among low-income households that struggle to access internet infrastructure due to the burden of access rates. Accordingly, the US Congress passed a bill to help lower the internet bill for low-income households using the government budget to close the digital divide. The Lifeline Program, which is a part of the universal service obligation, has been in charge of the telecommunications rate discount for low-income households. However, according to the new law, the internet rate discount program based on the government budget was implemented beginning in 2021. As the internet rate discount based on the government budget begins, the US telecommunication rate discount system is transitioning from a system in which telecommunication industry support was borne by operators to one in which public support from the government budget will play a significant role. In this paper, we will look at recent changes in the US telecommunications rate discount program and their implications.

As the amount of IT investment and the complexity of information systems in public agencies have been increased, efficient and structured management of IT systems is more emphasized. For the Korean government. ITA (Information Technology Architecture) is one of the core parts of the e-Government initiative. Also introducing and managing ITA in organizations is mandated by law in Korea. The objective of the paper is to study whether using ITA in public agencies is related with their IT capability and IT performance or not. A questionnaire had been designed for the purpose, and a survey had been performed on Korean public agencies. The survey results show that using ITA has influence on relation and technology capability. However, ITA does not influence on human capability and IT performance. The reason why using ITA is linked to relation and technology capability is that ITA includes relationship between both business and technology. Also ITA provides a technical reference model (TRM) and standard profile (SP), so it has influence on technology capability.

The paper identifies the enablers (drivers) and inhibitors (barriers) influencing e-customs implementation in Vietnam (known as a developing country with a lower technological environment) along with determining the impact of e-customs on firm performance. The survey was conducted with the representatives (managers) of firms in five cities and provinces dominating Vietnam's international trade. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings show two significant drivers (enablers) - relative advantages and national culture, while compatibility and ease of use are the barriers. Previous studies showed that cultural dimensions related to 'uncertainty acceptance' and 'individualism' encourage innovation; however, this paper demonstrates that 'uncertainty avoidance' and 'collectivism' promote e-customs deployment in Vietnam. Previously, Vietnamese culture was known for scoring high on cultural dimensions related to 'power distance' and 'short-term orientation'. However, today, as an emerging country, Vietnamese has switched to 'low distance' and 'long-term orientation', especially in terms of e-customs innovation. Additionally, the paper also emphasized that e-customs implementation had a positive influence on firm performance in Vietnam. Based on the results of the paper, policy-makers can devise essential solutions to enhance e-customs implementation as well as managers of firms can set-up strategies to adapt to the modernized environment.

기업의 정보 보안을 보장하기 위해, 많은 정부가 다양한 보안 관련 대책을 의무화해오고 있다. 하지만 이러한 보안 대책의 실행에 앞서, 이의 잠재적 효과성을 분석하는 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 안전벨트의 착용 법제화가 자동차 사고 사망자 감소에 미치는 효과에 대한 연구를 응용하여, 정부의 다양한 보안 대책의 사전 효과성 평가가 가능한 모형을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한, 인터넷 진흥원의 정보보호실태조사(기업편) 데이터를 개발된 모형에 적용하여 어떠한 보안대책의 법제화가 사회 및 산업 전반의 보안위험을 줄이는데 효과적인지 사전평가를 시행하였다. 그 결과 보안교육의 법제화가 다른 보안대책에 비해 효과적임을 확인하였다.

정부는 산업과 무역 전반의 전자상거래 시스템 구축과 공공부문에 전자상거래를 조속히 도입하여 경제전반의 전자상거래를 선도하고 공공부문의 효율성과 투명성을 제고하기 위하여 2000년 2월 전자상거래 활성화 종합대책을 수립하여 추진 중에 있다. 그러나 건설산업의 전반적인 전자상거래는 아직 미흡한 실정에 있다. 정부의 주도로 대형 건설업체들은 IT투자증대와 컨소시엄을 구성하여 E-marketplace를 구축하고 있으나 중소 건설업체들은 전자상거래에 대한 투자가 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 중소건설업의 환경과 전자상거래의 제도적 측면에서 문제점을 검토하여 국내 중소건설업의 경제적 지원측면에서 전자상거래 관련 세금감면법규의 한계성을 분석하고 중소건설업 대상 설문조사를 통하여 정부의 전자상거래의 활성화 정책에 있어서 정부유도정책의 필요성과 전자상거래 활용도에 대한 인센티브 부여의 필요성, 그리고 그에 따른 대책방안을 제시하였다.
