Although the telecommunications service industry has become a basic infrastructure component of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, it is now losing its reputation as a cash cow due to achieving a saturation of service subscribers, especially in South Korea. With the exception of improving network speeds, network operators are experiencing difficulties in creating new innovations. Therefore, new innovations for the telecommunications service industry should be identified in conjunction with government policies for industry promotion. To examine the innovative capabilities of a specific industry, innovation system theories were used as a framework for research. However, existing innovation systems are limited with regard to explaining the openness of relationships and user participation which are general properties of the ICT industry. Moreover, as sources of innovative activity, additional values such as financial support and collaboration are more appropriate. This study presents a new innovation system based on innovation values. We analyze the telecommunications service industry and prioritize the importance of telecommunication policies within South Korea. An in-depth interview with experts based on the innovation system framework is conducted first. Next, innovation factors derived from the interview are applied within an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), leading to a prioritization of innovation factors for the telecommunications service industry.

The diffusion of smart devices has greatly influenced the market dynamics of the telecommunications industry. The competition paradigm has shifted from individual firm-based competition to ecosystem-based competition. To satisfy the diverse needs of market customers, it has become more important for telecommunications companies to form alliances with complementary partners in the ecosystem. This study empirically investigates the influence of ecosystem-based alliance formations on the financial performance of firms in the Korean telecommunications market. Specifically, the impact of a CPND (Content, Platforms, Networks, and Devices) alliance in the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) sector on firms' profitability is examined using a structural equation model. The results indicate that before the diffusion of smart devices, ecosystem-based alliance formations with other firms in the ICT ecosystem were not effective for enhancing profitability. However, after this diffusion, alliance formation between members of the value chain in the ICT ecosystem contributed significantly to firms' financial performance. This implies that recent alliances with firms that are constituents of the ICT ecosystem are an important element of profit generation in the ICT market in Korea.

국내 통신 및 미디어 산업의 카르텔 심결 사례들을 통해 산업별 카르텔 발생 현황과 카르텔 유형별 심결사례의 현황을 파악하고 개선방안을 살펴보았다. 또한 규제산업의 관행이면서 카르텔 형성과 관련된 '행정지도'를 중심으로 카르텔의 특성을 파악하고 개선방안을 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 카르텔 규제의 주요 요소이면서 카르텔 폐해와 관련된 '카르텔 유형', '경쟁제한성', 그리고 '카르텔 제재'를 중심으로 카르텔의 특성을 파악하고 개선방안을 살펴보았다. 심결사례의 분석 결과와 개선방안을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다채널 유료 방송산업, 통신산업, 영화산업, 신문산업 등의 순으로 담합의 발생빈도가 높았다. 또한 가격담합은 통신 및 미디어 산업의 거의 모든 세부 분야에서 나타난 반면 설비제한 담합과 영업수행 관리 담합은 어느 분야에도 나타나지 않았다. 담합의 발생을 줄이기 위한 개선방안으로는 방송통신위원회와 공정거래위원회의 공조체제 강화와 공정거래자율준수프로그램의 급속한 확산을 들 수 있다. 둘째, 미디어 산업보다는 통신 산업에서 행정지도가 담합의 기회를 더 많이 제공하는 것으로 나타났다. 행정지도가 담합을 촉진시키는 것을 방지하기 위한 미시적 개선방안으로는 방송통신위원회 및 문화체육관광부와 사업자들에게 행정지도와 관련된 준수사항을 각인시키는 것이 필요하고 거시적 개선방안으로는 경쟁제한적 규제의 수정이 필요하다. 셋째, 통신 및 미디어 산업은 다른 산업과 유사하게 경성카르텔의 비중이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 통신 및 미디어 산업은 새로운 유형의 담합이 출현할 가능성이 높으므로 카르텔 규제의 실효성을 높이기 위해 포괄주의의 도입이 필요하다. 넷째, 경성 및 연성 카르텔과 같은 담합의 성격에 따라서 경쟁제한성 분석의 심도가 달라지기보다는 과징금 규모가 큰 경우일수록 경쟁제한성 분석의 심도가 높은 것으로 나타났으나 전반적으로 경쟁제한성 분석의 심도는 낮은 편이다. 경쟁제한성 판단을 개선하기 위해서 미디어산업의 경우 관련시장의 획정에 있어서 양면시장 특성에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 다섯째, 시정명령만 있는 경우가 과징금을 부과한 경우보다 많은 것으로 나타나 카르텔 제재는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 시정조치의 실효성을 높이기 위해 과징금 부과 요건의 확대와 손해배상제도의 활성화를 고려해볼 수 있다.

A multi-channel network(MCN) is an organization that works with video platforms, such as YouTube, to offer assistance to channel owners in areas such as "products, programming, funding, cross-promotion, partner management, digital rights management, monetization/sales, and/or audience development" in exchange for a percentage of the ad revenue from the channel. This paper examines the market trends, business trends, and future evolution of an MCN. It also examines the status of the MCN industry in the media industry and the strategic direction for future industry development.

정보통신 분야의 급속한 기술 발전과 세계적 단일 네트워크화 현상은 기술간 상호융합현상 및 기업간 치열한 경쟁양상 유발 및 표준의 시장ㆍ세계화 지향 유도 등 정보통신산업(특히 표준화를 중심으로 한)환경을 급격히 변화시키고 있다. 이러한 정보통신산업 환경의 변화에 따라 표준화는 핵심 이슈로 더욱 부각되고 있으며, 기업은 물론 각 국가는 표준을 핵심 전략으로 인식하고, 다양한 전략적 접근을 통하여 시장선점 나아가 표준 획득을 위해 치열한 경쟁을 하고 있다. 정보통신산업은 또한 여타 산업에 대한 파급효과가 크기 때문에, 표준화 경쟁에서의 패배는 해당 기업은 물론이고 국가적으로 큰 손실을 가져오게 되며, 이에 기술개발 초기 단계에서부터 기업간 표준화 경쟁은 치열해지고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 이러한 환경변화에 적극적이고 능동적인 대처가 이루어지지 못할 경우 정보통신 선진국은 요원할 수 밖에 없다. 이에 본 논문에서는 최근 표준화를 둘러싼 환경변화, 나아가 정보통신산업 전반의 환경변화와 그 요인들에 관하여 살펴보고, 이러한 변화에 능동적이고 효과적인 대처를 위한 효율적 표준화 정책방향을 모색해 보고자 한다.

In this paper, we investigate on the determinants of new venture performance empirically and suggest a new venture performance model in the Korean Information and Telecommunications (IT) industry. A total of seven hypotheses is established and tested using a combination of factor analysis, cluster analysis, analysis of variance, and correlation analysis. Ninety-two sample ventures in the Korean IT industry were investigated and analyzed to test hypotheses. We found that new ventures performance depends on their environment, strategy, internal resources factors, and, most importantly, two-way and three-way interactions of these factors. These findings could be interpreted as supporting the general strategy theory that when environment and internal resources and fitted, performance might be maximized and, further, strategy is the means that make internal resources and environment fit. The venture performance model presented in this paper can explain how new ventures achieve their successes. The strategic implications to the venture firms are also discussed.

The world mobile service is growing sharply and became bigger market than wired. So it is very needed to find the political way to promote mobile industry. The United States government recently decided to introduce new mobile policies for promoting mobile industry. Until now the telecommunications policies of the United States have affected policy developments for many countries including Korea. In this context, we studied the validity of introducing new mobile policies of the United States in Korea. We found that new mobile policies can cause the change of mobile market environment; mobile market power will be dispersed from network to content, application and devise, and new mobile market environment where consumers freely select and use network as well as content, application and devise will be made. Also we found empirically that if new policies are introduced in Korea, mobile industry will be promoted as Korean consumers use mobile services and goods quite actively in new mobile market. We think our results provide reasonable evidence to introduce new mobile policies in Korea.

The remarkable growth of Korean telecommunication market has based on the introduction of competition as well as mobile technology like CDMA. It was well Down that such a conspicuous growth has been towed by mobile service rather than fixed telephone service. In telecommunications service the number of subscribers to mobile was over 40 millions in 2006 and also, while the traffic amount of fixed telephone has been more decreased, that of mobile, which already outnumbers the fixed, has been constantly increased and will be much more in future. It will accelerate the substitution of access and call demand of fixed service by mobile. This change of technology and demand does affect directly the market performance of telecommunications. And regulation has also an effect on market structure, which finally affects on market performance. In this paper we suppose the fixed and mobile telecommunications services are in a same industry. After reviewing the relations among the demand, cost, charge structure and revenue structure in the one fixed and mobile telecommunications market using the framework of an industrial structure analysis, we discuss the current issues of telecommunications regulation and implications for the future regulation.
