This article firstly explores into the concepts, components, and pictures of institutional realization of competition and diversity respectively on the premise that competition and diversity comprise the primary objectives to be pursued by the broadcasting-related laws which provide the concrete measures of media policy, and argues that while the competition objective has differentiation factors, there are also particularities in the diversity value in the broadcasting-related laws as sector-specific competition laws. Then assuming that special competition rules including structural regulatory measures particularly in the broadcasting market are required in order to realize values of competition and diversity harmoniously, this article suggests the following improvement directions for regulations aimed at protection of competition and diversity in the broadcasting-related laws. The first one is with the improvement method for regulations aimed at protection of competition. Regulation on share of audience as an ex ante regulation of status and regulation on prohibited activities as an ex post regulation of conduct may play important roles in substituting the causative regulation while seeking for diversity value. For this purpose, it is needed to develop a concrete method that incorporates diversity-related factors as consideration factors in the standard for determining illegality of prohibited activities by inference to methods of determining illegality in the competition law. The second one is with the improvement method for regulations aimed at protection of diversity. This could be considered from three viewpoints that are the setting of regulatory objectives, the identification of alternative regulatory measures, and the choice of regulatory measures and levels suitable for regulatory objectives. From these viewpoints, the regulatory framework should be improved mainly with institutional measures in which diversity value is used for tools of assessment and analysis, not just remaining as mere rhetorical devices, and whether or to what extent to maintain regulations seemingly unreasonable in terms of harmonization with economic objectives such as competition should be discreetly reviewed.

This study aims to analyze the social and legal status of Internet personal broadcasting in Korea and propose the direction of personal broadcasting regulation based on overseas regulatory laws and the media characteristics of Internet broadcasting. The influence of Internet personal broadcasting has increasing, and social and legal problems such as pornography and fake news have also growing. In the absence of legal regulations on personal broadcasting on the Internet, academia is also discussing relevant legislation and policies at a general level of analysis. In addition, the current study argues that new legislative research is needed to respond to the rapidly changing media environment and to cope with the newly introduced Internet broadcasting content and platforms. The findings suggest that freedom of expression is a significant value, yet obscene materials for minors should be thoroughly regulated, and that internet personal broadcasting should be regulated to the minimum extent through self-regulation guidelines through cooperation between councils and related agencies or businesses. The significance of the current study indicates that it proposed the practical and concrete laws for the improvement of the quality of Internet personal broadcasting content, the establishment of new broadcasting policies for fair and diverse content development, and the efficient and fair regulation of personal broadcasting content.

The history of animals raised by humans began in prehistoric times, and in modern times they were classified as livestock and pets. As social awareness changes, the term 'companion animal' is used instead of 'pet', and related content has also become more diverse. Recently, digital contents such as virtual pet training, memorial space, and AI health diagnosis using metaverse and AI technology are developing. Developed digital content makes pet care convenient and provide emotional support and economic benefits to users. As technology develops and content becomes more diverse, the relationship between pets and humans will become closer in the future, and related laws and ethical guidelines will need to be established.

When a fire occurs in a road tunnel, it is likely to develop into a major disaster because of its sealed structural characteristics. Because of this, a range of disaster prevention facilities should be installed, and they should show their appropriate functions in fire prevention and response. In addition, the installation of essential disaster prevention facilities is missing due to the lack of considering an extension of continuous tunnels and soundproof tunnels. For these reasons, it was judged that an amendment to the law would be necessary. Therefore, this paper reviewed the changes in domestic laws related to the disaster prevention facilities of road tunnels, and the results of the study on the parts that need to be revised in the fire-related laws through a comparative analysis between laws are as follows. First, consecutive tunnels should consider the sum of the extensions of the individual tunnels and ensure that the soundproof tunnels are included in the category of tunnels in the law. In this way, the necessary disaster prevention facilities should be installed. Second, it is necessary to secure a legal justification for installing disaster prevention facilities in tunnels. Therefore, it is essential that water mist fire extinguishing system facilities, emergency broadcasting facilities, and leading lights, which are excluded from installation in tunnels, are specified in the Fire-related laws. Third, to specify in the law that air respirators must be provided in the tunnel is necessary from the viewpoint of the field response. Accordingly, it will make a great contribution to the fire-fighting activities and the life-saving efforts by fire-fighters.

This study attempted to obtain implications for digital education policy by reviewing the Framework Acts and Enforcement Decrees related to digital education. To this end, the following were explored. First, the concept and components of digital competency were reviewed. Second, the Framework Acts and Enforcement Decrees related to digital education policy were reviewed using the above concepts. Third, the characteristics and implications of the Framework Acts and Enforcement Decrees for digital education were explored. The results are as follows: Korea's digital education policy tried to reflect the categories that digital competency must cover, even its function and dysfunction role. However, to achieve their purpose, it is necessary to maintain consistency with related laws or policies. We identified that amendments to the Basic Act and related articles are essential to effectively enforce the Digital-Based Distance Education Activation Basic Act. A reevaluation of the correlation between Article 10, emphasizing digital media literacy education, and Article 5 of the enforcement decree is necessary. Revision of the enforcement decree to align with Article 10's objectives is vital to ensure proactive measures for promoting digital literacy and competence as mandated by the Basic Act.

The broadband access network is a worldwide trend and the related IPTV service is booming. However, the IPTV deployment has been delayed in Korea because of the business relationship between the communication and broadcasting area and the lack of the related laws. As a means to the development of FTTH-based high-quality service platform and next-generation equipment, ETRI has been building own FTTH service center with a network operation center and IPTV service equipments, also connecting it with commercial FTTH infrastructures made by network operators. In this paper, we describe the related technologies about FTTH-based IPTV testbed.
