Smart TV is rapidly growing with the provision of OTT services, and has become an alternative to pay-TV services. Yet smart TV in Korea has been diffused slowly, and thus few research has paid attention to smart TV. With the global growth trend of smart TV, research on smartTV, focusing on users' characteristic and their behaviors, is critical to explain smart TV's usage. To employ the Mediapanel dataset, this study explores the impact of smart TV users' demographic factors and their pay-tv usage on smart TV usage. The results suggested that age, the type of household, household income, and market size are associated with smart TV usage. Pay-TV usage, specifically IPTV subscription and VOD expenses, have impacts on smart TV usage. Lastly the interaction effect between IPTV subscription and movie VOD expenses, has negatively associated with smart TV usage. This study may bring to re-attention to smart TV and to give insights into the industry field.

As Netflix usage has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, users' experiences with the service have also increased. Therefore, this study aims to conduct topic modeling analysis based on Netflix review data to explore the changes in Netflix user experience and service before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected Netflix app review data from the Google Play Store using the Google Play Scraper library, and used topic modeling to examine keyword differences between app reviews before and after the pandemic. The analysis revealed four main topics: Netflix app features, Netflix content, Netflix service usage, and Netflix overall reviews. After the pandemic, when user experience increased, users tended to use more diverse and detailed keywords in their reviews. By using Netflix review data to analyze users' opinions, this study shows the changes in user experience of Netflix services before and after the pandemic, which can be used as a guide to strengthen competitiveness in the competitive OTT market.

This study proposes the evolution model of emerging media platform including smart media (M-IPTV, Smart TV) and IPTV, through a spiral evolution model based on the theory of the exploration & the exploitation. Authors suppose that the IP media evolved from IPTV technology, evolution of which has come through the development model of serial circular process. For explanation of this evolution, we propose the research model integrating the spiral model and the exploration & exploitation theory. Researchers define the smart media as the evolved media from IPTV, through this proposed model. We expect this model to be the theoretical base of media regulation and setting direction of future media service. Thus, this research are summed up as follows. To begin with, we classify the evolutionary stage of IPTV from the view points of service feature, regulation frame and technological characters. Secondly, we organize and confirm the research model of IPTV evolution through case analysis of the 3 cycles of each evolutionary stage. As a result, discussion of this study helps understanding mobile IP media and smart media as a post IPTV and leads the solution of various regulation issues and the development of the innovative media service and content. In addition, it can guide the government for the evolutionary direction to promote the media and the content industry.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an answer for the following question: What are the major shifts and implications of the unprecedently competitive and rapidly changing media ecosystem in the era of N-screen and OTT services? I've attempted to understand the complex and competitive nexus among media from an historical context by focusing on the displacement vs. complement thesis. The TPC model by Han has been employed for the analysis of the current dynamics of US media industries by triangulating three areas: Technology/industry, public policy and consumer/culture. More specifically, the US media landscape is initially divided into two competitive turfs - the competitors equipped with OTT services and the legacy media industry, and then the traditional media industry was grouped again into PayTV group(telecom service providers with IPTV and mobile TV, cable/Satellite TV networks) and Free (over-the-air) TV networks. Six major shifts were identified by the analysis: power shift in telecom carriers, power shifts in TV industry, Telecom/OTT partnership, time shifts, place shifts, and finally business model shifts.

Due to social distancing caused by COVID 19, music concerts have not been allowed at home and abroad, and it is not known when overseas concerts will be able to resume unless the pandemics calm down, even if they are available. Meanwhile, people consume much more content through online services such as Netflix and YouTube than before. Under these circumstances, the music industry expects the virtual livestreamed performance to restore sluggish live performances again and bring about a digital renaissance. It also leads to the issue of reestablishing a copyright system regarding a livestreamed performance and of preparing a new rate of royalty standards for the use of works in OTT. In addition, a multi-territorial licensing of r ights in musical works is necessary to resolve copyright issues efficiently by applying the same term s to all countries from where the audience comes. In this paper, I examine the legal nature and the decision of copyright fees of performances as an integral part of the music industry.
