Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of the change in telecommunication regulation on network investment such as the integration of telecommunication service. The integration of telecommunication service plays a role of separating the behavior regulation from entrance regulation and reducing a entrance constraints. Therefore, it is expected that the market spill over effect is high through the improvement of behavior regulation such as interconnection regulation, facilities provisions, retail price regulation, bundling, number portability of VoIP. This paper discusses the critical factor affecting the decision making process in respect of the firm level and analyzes the impact path guiding investment and innovation. Finally, the paper proposes the guideline for telecommunications policy.

이 논문은 통신서비스의 규제정책이 역무통합이라는 규제정책의 변화와 함께 과거의 수직적 규제에서 수평적 규제체제로 바뀜에 따라 기존의 개별규제체제가 어떠한 형태로 변할 것이며, 이에 따라 통신망 투자에 어떠한 영향을 미칠 것인가를 분석한다. 역무통합은 진입규제와 행위규제를 분리하여 진입의 제약을 축소하고 행위규제의 유연성을 제고하는 효과를 가진다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 역무통합 자체가 주는 직접적 효과보다는 상호접속 규제, 설비제공제도, 요금규제, 결합판매, VoIP 번호 이용 등 역무통합과 연계된 행위규제 개선을 통해 간접적으로 시장 파급효과가 나타날 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 기업수준에서 투자의사결정에 영향을 미치는 요소들에 대해 논의하고, 진입규제 완화, 상호접속, 요금규제, 망중립성 등의 개별규제가 투자결정에 미치는 영향경로를 분석한다. 마지막으로 정책에 대한 기본적인 가이드라인을 제안한다.
