Purpose - Before the economic reforms, the Chinese communication industry was poorly developed. After China's entering to WTO, the Chinese market were gradually opened, domestic companies will be faced with more and more pressures of competition from the world rival countries. As time goes on, the overseas telecommunications companies will occupy the Chinese market with the opening of China Telecommunications market to outside. So this paper focuses on problems and development methods based on the research about the present situation and development methods of communication industry(communication manufacturing industry and communication manufacturing industry) in China. Research design, data, and methodology - This study analyzed the policies of China's entering to WTO. This paper observed previous researches and made an empirical research on Chinese communication industry based on the governmental policies, strategies, books and previous papers with several kinds of clear data announced formally by China authorities. Results - Most recently, reorganization of the communication industry has brought good opportunities for the development of the communication manufacturing enterprises. This paper analyze policy changes of Chinese communication industry, the status of communication manufacturing industry and communication service industry. Finally, this study for further research analyzes the existing problems and puts forward some practicable measures to solve them. Conclusions - Looking ahead, with China's rapid economic development and steady deepening of reform and opening-up, the Chinese communication industry is faced with an even broader prospect of development. Chinese communication industry will be become the pillar one in national economy after 10 years development. Foreign communication companies accelerated investment and progresses to Chinese information and communication markets. Positive ones are more foreign investment, export increase, domestic innovation, communication industry made steep growth. But negative ones are obstacles of domestic companies' development and jobless rate increase etc. Second communication manufacturing industry made good development, but computer and TV related industry made decline in growth. Third, market sizes of internet and mobile services are growing but the size of wired communication services is downsizing gradually. To overcome them, the studies of components or parts of communication manufacturing industry are needed individually. Second China Unicom, China Telecom, China Mobile etc. are Chinese representatives. The sales volumes are very similar at the beginning, but now they are different and make big differences. So the analysis about, their differences and its impact, are needed.

Observation of the effects of a handset subsidy on the mobile telecommunication industry has revealed two different aspects. The activation of various mobile services and the handset market, has led to the rapid acceleration of the related technological development, which is a desirable result, while rising prices and the overspending of related resources are undesirable. A great deal of research has been conducted to assess both desirable and undesirable factors using qualitative methods. However, quantitative studies into the effects of a handset subsidy are rare. In this study, we consider the positive and negative effects on consumer welfare of a change in demand and prices brought about by a handset subsidy. Then, we quantitatively compare the positive and negative effects and analyze their direct effects on consumer welfare.

iPad는 Apple사가 만든 태블릿 PC 또는 이와 유사한 모바일 디바이스로, iPhone의 기능에 부가하여 iWorks, iBooks, iAd라는 킬러앱을 장착함으로써 모바일 산업 및 기존 산업들의 생산-유통-소비 구조에 큰 변화를 몰고 올 것으로 전망된다. 주요 기관별 2010년 판매 전망이 300~1,000만 대 사이로 다양한 가운데, iPad는 출시 28일 만에 100만 대의 판매를 돌파하면서 Apple사의 i-시리즈 중 가장 빠른 초기 판매속도를 보이고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 iPad의 시장확산 속도와 영향력이 해외에서만큼 파괴적이지는 않을 것으로 예상된다. 이는 우리나라 모바일 디바이스 이용 환경/문화가 북미-유럽과 다르고, 대기업 중심의 탄탄한 모바일 단말 제조-유통 구조가 구축되어 있으며, 국내에서 iPhone이 시장점유율 변화에 미친 영향력이 미비했다는 점으로 설명할 수 있겠다. 한편, iPad 열풍에 대한 국내 IT 업체들의 대응방안으로는 대안 소프트웨어 플랫폼을 적극 개발하는 전략, Apple사의 플랫폼 주도권을 인정하고 콘텐츠 및 애플리케이션 개발에 주력하는 전략, 그리고 iPad를 모방한 Me-too 제품을 출시하는 전략 등을 고려할 수 있겠다.

국내 이동통신 산업의 중요성 및 빠른 변화에도 불구하고, 국내 이동통신 산업만을 대상으로 한 산업연관효과에 관한 체계적인 연구는 미흡한 상태이다. 본 연구는 여타 연구와 달리 기술 및 산업 속성에 따라 국내 이동통신 산업을 크게 기기, 장비, 서비스 3가지 부문으로 분류하여 산업연관분석을 실시하였다. 또한 최근 국내 이동통신 산업이 전 산업에 미치는 영향의 변화를 파악하기 위해, 한국은행에서 발표한 2003년, 2005년, 2007년, 2009년 산업연관표를 이용하여 산업연관효과의 연도별 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 생산유발효과의 전후방연쇄효과는 기기, 서비스, 장비 3가지 부문 모두 공통적으로 상승하는 추세를 보였다. 그리고 부가가치유발효과는 장비를 제외한 기기와 서비스에서 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 고용유발효과는 기기를 제외한 장비와 서비스에서 증가 추세를 보였다. 특히 이동통신기기 분야의 고용유발효과 감소 추세는 대내적으로 자본 집약화, 기술 집약화에 따른 고급인력의 수급 불균형 현상 등과 더불어 국내 단말업체들의 해외 생산기지 이전이 국내 고용에 악영향을 준 것으로 추정된다.

최근 통신서비스 시장에서는 그 동안 이동전화서비스와 초고속인터넷서비스를 중심으로 한 급격한 가입자의 증가 추세가 둔화되고 있으며, 향후에 통신서비스 시장의 성장을 이끌어갈 서비스의 출현을 고대하고 있다. 새로운 통신서비스 패러다임을 맞이해서 통신서비스 사업자의 입장에서는 그 동안의 양적 팽창 위주의 시장 접근에서 질적인 성장을 도모할 수 있는 방향을 모색해야 할 필요성이 제기되며, 근본적인 해결책은 기존에 제공하고 있는 서비스가 제공하지 못했던 다양한 장점을 가진 서비스를 제공함으로써 소기의 성과를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 이에 대한 대안으로 최근 이슈로 떠오른 것이 유무선 서비스 통합, 음성. 데이터 서비스 통합 그리고 방송.통신 서비스 융합을 근간으로 하는 컨버전스 서비스의 제공이다. 컨버전스 서비스의 제공은 기존에 제공해 오고 있는 서비스에 비해 ‘이동성’의 보완, ‘요금 부담’의 완화, ‘속도’ 측면의 강화라는 특성으로 요약될 수 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 최근 일어나고 있는 통신서비스 시장의 환경 변화에 대해 주로 유무선 서비스 통합에 대한 현황을 분석하고 통신사업자 입장에서 바람직한 대응 방안에 대해서 고찰하고자 한다. 또한, 구체적인 유무선 통합 서비스별로 향후 시장 예측과 새로운 통신서비스 환경에서 사업자와 정부의 역할에 대해서도 제시한다.

This paper introduces the 5G spectrum auction in Germany that occurred last summer and ended overheatedly after an extraordinarily long period. We describe the context of the latest German spectrum auction and trace the participants' bidding behavior. This case details the trend of the 5G spectrum auction and the factors that affect the spectrum auction as follows: First, it is determined that investment obligations that force network installations can be a financial burden to mobile network operators (MNOs) and require a careful approach. Second, excess demands can cause auction overheating and the spectrum supply volume needs to be determined by a proper demand forecast and investment incentive. Third, 'Set-Aside' for local usage aids in developing the vertical industry; however it limits the spectrum supply for mobiles and leads to higher bidding prices. Fourth, a modified adoption of a typical spectrum auction can alleviate MNO's financial burdens to secure the broadband spectrum. Finally, competition to secure the necessary bandwidth in the situation of limited spectrum supply may delay the process of the spectrum auction, causing it overheated.
