In this study, we estimate the multi-service cost function of Korea Telecom in order to characterize the cost structure of the telecommunication industry in Korea. By examining the cost function of Korea Telecom, we show that telecommunication costs of Korea Telecom are subadditive. Therefore, we conclude that a natural monopoly exists in the telecommunication industry in Korea.

투자보수율은 통신정책에서 사용하는 가장 중요한 원가요소의 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 현행 투자보수율 산정방법과 산출과정의 문제를 검토하고, 합리적인 투자보수율 산정을 위한 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 먼저 산출방법의 개선을 위해서는 시장프리미엄산출시 벤치마크법을 사용하여 경기변화와 인플레인션으로 인한 결과 왜곡을 방지하고, 부채프리미엄가산법을 사용하여 타인자본 산출과정에 발생하는 정확성의 문제를 개선하며 최적자본구조법을 적용하여 급격한 시장변화에 의한 자본구조 변화의 문제를 줄이도록 하는 방안을 제시하였다. 산출과정을 개선하기 위해서는 투자보수율을 산정 주기를 1년으로 하여 시장 변화의 속도가 빠른 통신 산업의 특성이 반영되도록 할 것을 제안하였다. 또한 투자보수율의 산정주체를 규제기관이 아닌 기업으로 변경해 규제기관과 피규제기업 사이의 정보비대칭으로 인한 투자보수율 산출비용을 감소시키고, 기업별 투자보수율을 산정할 것을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 투자보수율의 개선방안은 앞으로도 지속적으로 시장의 변화를 반영하여 개선할 필요가 있을 것이며, 투자보수율 산정방법 자체에 관해서도 합리적이고 투명한 산출기준이 마련될 수 있도록 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

In the telecommunication industry, estimation of the cost of network facilities is very important since depreciation cost of the facilities accounts for a large portion of the product cost. Moreover, cost estimation in the industry becomes more difficult because of increasing indirect cost upon digital convergence, expanding multi-purpose facilities, complexity of service product, etc. Nevertheless, not much seem to have been done in improving estimation methodology of the cost of network facilities. As a result, the quality of cost information on network facilities has deteriorated, and now even decision-makers in the industry dismiss the information. Recently, two major telecommunication companies adopted a new network cost estimation method to deal with the issue. In this paper, we study the concept of new cost estimation method and the procedure to develop and apply it. We also suggest the method to carry out the cost allocation using Matlab which is more efficient and time-saving than other commercial cost calculation packages.

본 논문에서는 GIS와 네트웍 알고리듬을 이용하여 통신관망의 설계를 최적화하였다. 구체적이고 계량적인 분석을 위해 신규로 조성되는 대규모의 도시개발지역을 대상으로 하여 기존의 설계방식에 의해 산출된 통신관망과 최적경로 알고리듬을 이용한 통신관망과의 건설비용을 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과 GIS와 최적경로 알고리듬을 적용한 설계 결과가 기존의 설계방법에 비해 상당한 비용절감 효과가 있음을 보여준다. 연구 대상지역에서 기존설계에 의해 산출된 통신관로의 거리는 5,267m이며 최적경로를 적용한 결과는 4,807m로 460m(9.5%)의 차이를 보였다. 결과를 비용으로 산정했을 경우 약 19,469천원(8.7%)의 비용절감 효과를 보였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 최적화 기법은 기존 설계기법에 비해 통신관망의 공사비의 절감 이외에 설계과정의 표준화 및 자동화가 가능하므로 이를 이용한 자동설계 시스템 개발로 설계비용과 인력이동에 따른 설계업무 적응기간 단축과 인건비 절감이 가능하며, 또한 설계 결과에 대한 객관적 검증이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

We propose a new paging strategy to reduce paging cost by adding paging agents at base stations. When a mobile-terminated call occurs, the base stations look up the paging agents to determine if terminal paging is actually to be made. An analytical model based on a Markov chain is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy. The numerical results show that the proposed strategy significantly reduces the paging cost compared with the simultaneous paging strategy.

Optional two-part tariffs are in growing use in telecommunication services markets. This paper considers the problem of designing profit-maximizing optional two-part tariffs for heterogeneous user groups. It is shown that, at an optimum, one of usage charges among a set of optional two-part tariffs should be made equal to marginal cost. It is also shown that, if demand curves cross, then one of usage charges at the optimum can be below marginal cost. An example with linear demand functions is given to illustrate the important features of optimal two-part tariffs.

In the design of telecommunication network, the network configuration using hubbing topology is useful for designing and managing the network efficiently : i. e. all of central offices (COs) are grouped into clusters. Each cluster has one hub consisting of large-scale transmission facilities like digital cross-connect systems and ATMs. In clustering process, the community of interest and geographical factor should be considered. However, there exists a tradeoff between two factors. One is to minimize total link costs for geographical factor and the other is to maximize the total intra-cluster traffics for community of interest. Hence, this can be solved by multiobjective linear programming techniques. In this paper, the problem under considerations is formulated as two p-median subproblems taking into considerations total costs and total intra-traffics, respectively. Then we propose the algorithm to solve the problem based on the concept of cost-traffic tradeoff. The algorithm enables to identify efficient cost-traffic tradeoff pairs. An illustration is also presented.

The Korean mobile telecommunication service market is faced with a tremendous competitive period, in which the market is entering into the maturity stage with launching of the 3rd generation service and with introduction of mobile number portability. In general, it is more important to sustain the old customers than to attracting new customers, as the life cycle of an industry is entering the maturity stage in which the growth rate of new customers is decreasing gradually or becoming stagnant. Until now, many researches had tested whether the customer satisfaction and loyalty were the core factors of sustaining customers or not. Also service quality and switching cost were given a remarkable attention for their possibility of exogenous factors, which could exercise effects to customer satisfaction and loyalty. In the same context, mobile telecommunication business has to seek a way to maintain the existing customers instead of promoting new customers. So this study investigates whether the service quality and switching barrier of mobile telecommunication could have effects on the customer satisfaction and loyalty, which are recognized as an efficient means to sustain the current customers. In order to test the hypothesis on the effects of service quality and switching barrier of mobile telecommunication to customer satisfaction and loyalty in Korean telecommunication industry, this study collected the questionnaire response data of students including middle and high school students and undergraduates, who are regarded as the major customers in that mobile telecommunication industry.

The objective of this paper is to help organizations select a suitable telecommunications media and dynamic route guidance system (DRGS) for an intelligent transport system (ITS) taking into account both cost and functionality. The media selection criteria and wireless communications for an ITS are discussed along with various DRGS. We describe which kind of telecommunication media and DRGS are suitable. The strategy of an ITS in Korea is described in regards to telecommunication media and DRGS.
