In January, 2019, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced the third edition of Master Plans for Radio Wave Promotion, effective from 2019 to 2023. The focus of this plan is to implement market based radio wave policy and horizontal regulatory framework. Although it appears to be past due, such change in the radio wave policy is not only fair and structured, but also unprecedented and ground breaking in legality. In order to successfully implement market based radio wave policy and horizontal regulatory framework, we must implement identical radio wave license based on license with consideration and time-limited usage. Through this, efficient distribution of finite radio wave resource may come to reality. Furthermore, there must be an effort to include life style regulation on license into radio wave act in the future.
