This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the telecommunications industry has faced fundamental changes. The competition in the telecom market has intensified according to service diversification due to voice and data integration, broadcasting and telecom convergence, and merger and acquisition of telecom operators. The networks evolve from circuit networks to next generation networks, such as BcN, 3G, 4G, and finally converge to All-IP networks. In addition, the Korean government has also presented new regulation policies in retail, wholesale, and spectrum allocation to promote competition and encourage investment. These trends are affecting Korean regulation policies, including the regulation of interconnection charges. The Korean regulatory agency uses a hybrid framework, that combines the rate of a top-down LRIC model and the slope calculated by the rates of a bottom-up LRIC model to assess interconnection charges. In this paper, we investigate the issues of the current framework for assessing interconnection charges in Korea in light of the rapid changes in the telecom industry. We show that investment in NTS or 3G may result in a decrease in operators' rates. The interconnection rate increases without network investment when traffic decreases. As a result, the current framework is limited in giving telecom operators incentive to increase network investment and use their networks efficiently. In addition, the top-down rate is out of date. The bottom-up model requires numerous, complicated simulations to compute the rates. We analyze the telecom regulation trends in the EU and propose a new framework for calculating the interconnection charge based on a glide-path method, a bottom-up model, and the concept of technology neutrality. The framework is clear and robust against the rapid changes in the telecom industry. In addition, we expect that the new framework can improve network efficiency because it excludes inefficient costs and derives operators' network investment with transparent regulations.

This book was released on 2007-08-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randall B, Lowe Piper & Marbury, L.L.R The issue of costing and pricing in the telecommunications industry has been hotly debated for the last twenty years. Indeed, we are still wrestling today over the cost of the local exchange for access by interexchange and competitive local ex change carriers, as well as for universal service funding. The U.S. telecommunications world was a simple one before the emergence of competition, comprising only AT&T and independent local exchange carriers. Costs were allocated between intrastate and interstate jurisdictions and then again, between intrastate local and toll. The Bell System then divided those costs among itself (using a process referred to as the division of revenues) and independents (using a process called settlements). Tolls subsidized local calls to keep the politi cians happy, and the firm, as a whole, covered its costs and made a fair return. State regulators, however, lacked the wherewithal to audit this process. Their con cerns centered generally on whether local rates, irrespective of costs, were at a po litically acceptable level. Although federal regulators were better able to determine the reasonableness of the process and the resulting costs, they adopted an approach of "continuous surveillance" where, like the state regulator, the appearance of rea sonableness was what mattered. With the advent of competition, this historical costing predicate had to change. The Bell System, as well as the independents, were suddenly held accountable.
Download or read book Telecommunications Policies of Japan written by Hitoshi Mitomo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed description of Japan’s telecommunications policies. It discusses how Japan has addressed a variety of policy challenges ranging from traditional regulatory issues, such as the provision of a universal service, to the latest tasks, including the promotion of cutting-edge technologies. Japan is a global leader in information and communication technologies (ICT). In addition to technological advances, an impressive nationwide optical-fiber and advanced mobile network infrastructure has been developed, which has boosted the economy and benefited society. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has played an important role in ICT deployment. Japan has a unique ICT policy framework that does not separate regulation and promotion, unlike many other countries, which have an independent regulator. However, since relatively little information has been provided in English, it has been difficult to learn much about Japan’s policies. Written by specialists from MIC, industry and academia, this is the first collaborative work to provide a comprehensive discussion of Japan’s ICT policies, allowing readers to gain an understanding of the topic.
Download or read book The International Telecommunications Regime Domestic Preferences and Regime Change written by Juan Ratto-Nielsen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-12-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the evolution of the international regime in telecommunications with the main objective of furthering our understanding of the process of regime transformation. The dominant theories of international relations ' realism and institutional liberalism specify how states with shared interests use institutions to realize joint gains and to minimize the possibility of defection. But these theories have little to say about when states will attempt to change the objectives that lead them to create the international institution in the first place. The main goal of this book is to investigate and test the assumption that domestic politics by themselves can explain the dynamics of regime creation, evolution and change as it happened within the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

Download or read book Telecommunications Development in Asia written by John URE and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No industry has expanded faster than telecommunications, gained so many new users, added so much value, spread so rapidly to the underdeveloped areas of developing countries, done so much to close the digital divide and provide access to e-learning, e-health, and e-commerce across the countries of the Asia Pacific. Telecommunications Development in Asia provides a completely new and comprehensive analysis of the policies adopted throughout the region that have led to the explosive growth of this sector. It is a sequel to the 1995 landmark publication, John Ure (editor) Telecommunications in Asia: Policy, Planning and Development, and like the earlier volume will become a popular and indispensable guide for professionals, policy-makers and regulators working in telecommunications-related sectors. Part One of this new book is thematic. It reviews global best practices across a range of key issues facing the industry, from regulation, competition policy and the provision of universal service, to interconnection between competing networks, the management of radio spectrum for the all-important wireless communications sector, and an assessment of innovation in the telecommunications equipment market. Part Two examines markets across the Asia Pacific region, exploring the themes of Part One through in-depth country studies. Policy and regulations, industry trends and markets are uniquely placed in their historical, economic and political context. No other publication offers such comprehensive insights and understanding of the dynamic of these markets. And like the 1995 book, this one looks likely to stand the test of time.
