최근 이동망 경쟁활성화 및 이용자 후생확대를 위하여 로밍, MVNO, 사이트 공유(site sharing), 매스트 공유(mast sharing), 무선접속망 공유(radio access network sharing), 무선 코어망공유(radio and core network sharing) 등 다양한 제도들이 검토되고 있다. 이 가운데 로밍과 MVNO제도가 현시점에서 가장 보편적으로 이용되고 있다. 논문은 이동망 네트워크 공유제도에 대하여 로밍과 MVNO제도를 중심으로 분석하고, 마지막으로 국내 이동통신 시장에 적용될 수 있는 바람직한 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

As mobile markets in most developed countries are rapidly coming close to saturation, it is increasingly challenging to cover the cost of providing the network, as revenues are not growing. This has driven mobile operators, thus far mostly involved in facility-based competition, to turn their attention to network sharing. There exist various types of mobile network sharing (MNS), from passive to active sharing. In this paper, we propose a model, based on the supply-demand model, for evaluating the economic effects of using six types of MNS. Our study measures the economic effects of employing these six types of MNS, using actual WiBro-related data. Considering lower service price and expenditure reduction, the total economic effect from a year's worth of MNS use is estimated to be between 513 million and 689 million USD, which is equal to three to four percent of the annual revenue of Korean mobile operators. The results of this study will be used to support the establishment of a MNS policy in Korea. In addition, the results can be used as a basic model for developing various network sharing models.
