The key objective of this paper is to suggest a pilot model for mobile network interconnection charge calculation by bottom-up long-run incremental costing methodology. Interconnection issues have lately attracted considerable attention by network operators and regulators. However there is no standard by all the network operators' agreement. The costing method is an acute problem because the interconnection charge is directly related to the network operators' revenue. Thus Korea has planned to launch the new interconnection policy based on the current traffic distribution and then we simulate the model in a sample area with virtual data. The results propose objective and reasonable guideline for the mobile network element cost calculation. It can be helpful for calculating price floor or bottom-up long run incremental interconnection charge by regulator.

Universal service policy is the core of telecommunications policy and, therefore, in many countries, governments have been accomplished universal service as the critical goal of telecommunications policy. In the past when the market was under monopoly, the monopolist had the responsibility of supplying for universal service, whereas supply cost complemented through internal assistance. From 1998 when WTO basic telecommunications negotiation took effect, however, telecommunications markets fully opened, it was impossible to supply of universal service under the past system. Therefore, governments of major countries are trying to renew laws and institutions for policies compatible with competition environments. In this paper, I analyse and compare major countries' policies for the universal services and try to find out policy implication for Korea.

It is widely used that a network termination rate is calculated by using a Long Run Incremental Costing model. Interconnection Order issued Ministry of Information and Communication in Korea on December 2002 has declared that termination charges of local, national, payphone, and mobile calls are going to be determined by LRIC costing models after 2004. There are lots of preceding researches on a fixed network costing model for applying to LRIC method but on a mobile network not pretty much of them. Besides, Most important basis of current calculation models for termination charges are access costs to connect subscribers to network such as a local loop. In this paper, we look into being of access costs in mobile network and show the applicable standards for cost allocation of access costs in implementing LRIC costing model.

이동망 착신독점력 규제를 위해 각국 규제당국은 이동망 착신접속료(Mobile Termination Rate: MTR)를 원가기준으로 규제하고 있다. 원가기준으로는 과거 FDC 방식이 채택되어 왔으나 2002년 영국이 "LRIC+" 방식으로 MTR을 결정한 이래 "LRIC+" 방식이 EU를 비롯한 OECD 주요국의 MTR 산정방식으로 보편화되어 왔다. 그러나 2009년 EU에서 순수증분비용(Pure Long Run Incremental Cost) 방식으로 착신접속료 규제방식 변경을 권고하는 권고안을 채택함으로써 EU 가맹국은 Pure LRIC 방식으로 MTR을 변경하여야 한다. 본 고에서는 Pure LRIC 방식 채택을 권하는 EU 권고안 채택 배경, Pure LRIC 산정 방법론, EU 권고안에 대한 각국의 이행계획을 살펴보며, Pure LRIC 채택이 가져올 영향을 살펴보고자 한다.

정보통신서비스산업이 공기업 독점체제에서 전면적인 경쟁체제로 변화하면서 서비스의 공공성 확보, 국민의 기본용구충족 및 국제경쟁력 확보, 서비스 질적 수준 향상 등으로 변화하고 있다. 국제적으로도 WTO 기본통신협상(Basic Telecommunications Agreement)에 의해 외곽의 사업자들에게도 동등한 접속제공 및 접속료 산정을 요구받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정보통신 서비스의 실효성 제고를 위한 방법 중에 하나인 상호접속 기술의 개념 및 접속기준을 고찰한다. 또한 상호접속 현황을 분석하고 현행 접속료의 산정방식인 대표원가 계산방식을 살펴본다. 결과적으로 대표원가 계산방식의 문제점을 지적하고 선진국들이 채택하고 있는 장기증분원가 (LRIC : Long Run incremental Cost)개념의 도입이 필요성을 언급한다.

이동망의 착신접속서비스는 각국에서 bottleneck 서비스로 인식하고 규제당국에서 원가에 근거하여 규제하고 있다. 원가에 의한 규제 방식으로 과거에는 회계자료를 근거로 한 역사적 원가가 사용되어 왔으나 최근에는 유선망의 경우처럼 bottom-up 방식의 장기증분원가(Long Run Incremental Cost ： LRIC)를 적용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. LUC를 산정하기 위해서는 공학적인 기준에 따라 이동망을 설계하여 정확한 망 구성요소별 소요량을 측정하고 이를 투자비로 전환하는 작업이 필요하다. 유선망의 경우는 LRIC산정을 위한 망 설계방법론이 비교적 잘 확립되어 있으나, 이동망의 경우는 망 설계 및 망 구성요소별 소요량 산정방법론에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 고에서는bottom-up방식의 이동망 LRIC산정관련 해외 사례를 살펴보고 국내 실정에 적합한 이동망 설계 방법과 망 구성 요소별 소요량 산정 방법론을 제시해보고자 한다.

In march 2002, Study Group on Long-Run Incremental Cost(LRIC) Model of Japan compiled its report. In this report shows there are three ways of inter-islands and island to land telecommunication service, radio communication, suboptic, communication satellite. Analysis of Japanese island network model is helpful in developing Korean island network model. The development of Korean island network model will make he useful costing of local loop unbundling, universal service fund and access charge.
