Abstract

The number of subscribers and the level of service usage are moderately low though WiBro service, as a new mobile Internet service, has been provided to mobile Internet users since June 2006. Considering this situation, the study was to identify, in exploratory point of view, which critical success factors are considered by mobile Internet users as the most important one to facilitate WiBro service, and to examine the perception of critical success factors of WiBro service varies according to their demographic characteristics. The study also was to suggest a few of research propositions on the relationships between critical success factors of WiBro service and characteristics of mobile Internet users, based on various statistical analyses. To accomplish these research purposes, the study defined research variables such as demographic characteristic of mobile Internet users, types of user, and critical success factors of WiBro service based on the review of mobile Internet service related studies. And then, the study performed various statistical analyses using survey questionnaires on mobile Internet users. The analyses show that there are little differences in perception on critical success factors of WiBro service among the mobile Internet users grouped by job and residential region, and that only the relationship between occupation of mobile Internet users and critical success factors of WiBro service is moderated by the types of user. Finally, the study proposed some research propositions, based on these analysis results, that could be used in the future studies.

2006년부터 무선인터넷 사용자를 대상으로 휴대인터넷(WiBro) 상용 서비스가 본격적으로 제공되고 있다. 그러나, 아직까지 휴대인터넷 서비스 가입자 수 및 서비스 이용율은 다소 저조한 수준에 머물고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 배경에 따라, 본 연구에서는 향후 WiBro 서비스를 활성화시키기 위한 관점에서 국내의 무선인터넷 사용자들이 어떠한 요인들을 중요하게 인식하고 있는가를 파악하고자 하였다. 특히, 이러한 WiBro 서비스 주요성공요인에 대한 인식도가 응답자들의 다양한 특성에 따라 차이가 존재하는가를 탐색적 관점에서 파악함으로써, 무선인터넷 사용자의 특성과 WiBro 서비스 주요성공요인간의 관련성을 중심으로 연구명제를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 무선인터넷 사용자의 인구통계적 특성, 사용자 유형, WBro 서비스 주요성공요인 등의 연구변수를 정의함으로써, 국내의 무선인터넷 사용자들을 대상으로 설문조사와 통계분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 응답자의 직업과 거주지를 중심으로 분류한 집단들간에 일부 WiBro 서비스 주요성공요인에 대한 인식도에 있어서 통계적으로 유의한 수준의 차이가 존재하며, 응답자의 직업과 일부 WiBro 서비스 주요성공요인간의 관련성에 있어서 사용자 유형이 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 향후 WiBro 관련 연구들에서 이용될 수 있는 연구명제들을 제시할 수 있었다.
