The Spectrum Usage Fee System which has been introduced and enforced since 1993 has had a great role for effective use of the radio frequency resources and the promotion of radio wave industry. However, the current system has been criticized due to several drawbacks. For example, broadcasting stations and national institutions are exempted whereas the overdue utility rate on some frequency has been imposed. So there has been rising the questions on whether the principles of fair imposition are broken. Another problem regarding the current system is that how to calculate the fee is too much complicated, and it needs to be revised into a simpler and clearer formulation. In this regard, this study intends to propose a new calculation framework for the radio spectrum usage fee and then prove its validity empirically on the basis of real data gathered from MIC and focus group interview.

본 연구는 사용자에게 친숙한 (user-friendly) 뮤직폰을 디자인하기 위하여, 실제 사용자들을 대상으로 일반적인 음악에 대한 경험 및 뮤직폰을 비롯, MP3 플레이어와 같은 포터블 뮤직 디바이스에 대한 경험을 조사 분석한 것이다. 조사 방법으로는 Focus Group Interview 와 설문이 사용되었으며, 한국을 포함하여 일본, 미국, 영국, 이탈리아 등 5개국 사용자들을 대상으로 동시에 실시되었다. 각 지역의 서로 다른 사용자 특성을 비교 분석하기 위하여 모두 동일한 진행 방법 및 조사 문항을 이용하였다. 대상자는 뮤직폰의 목표 사용자층을 고려하여 각국에서 2~30대의 남녀 5~8명을 선정하였다. 조사 결과, 5개국 공통으로 존재하는 사용자 경험 및 요청사항이 다수 발견되었으며, 이를 통해 뮤직에 대한 경험이 매우 보편적인 경험임을 확인하였다. 음악에 대한 경험에서는 PC를 음악 파일 저장 및 관리에 사용하는 관리 행태가, 뮤직폰에 대해서는 하드웨어적인 향상 니즈가 대표적인 공통점이었다. 또한, 자주 사용하는 기능이나 선호하는 인터랙션에 있어서는 국가 간, 지역 간 공통점과 함께 차이점도 발견되었다. 본 연구는 이러한 조사 결과를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 뮤직폰의 사용자 경험을 향상시킬 수 있는 가이드를 제시하고자 한다.
