Network Neutrality is a concept under big debate. We can find a spectrum of this concept. One of the extreme concept does not allow any discrimination against ISP(Internet Service Provider)s such as Google, Skype by BSP(Broadband Service Provider)s such as AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, inclusive of open access between BSPs and ISPs. In the opposite side of this spectrum, there exists a concept that BSPs can exercise their property right as is the same case with the other property rights to secure the incentive for their investment. The character of internet as an open architectural infrastructure has facilitated the technology innovation up to now in the IT area. Network Neutrality issue is a new issue but with a old lessons. In US, West Union in electronic telegraph industry and AT&T in the telephone industry can be referenced to solve the problems in the broadband internet network. However, as we can see in the process for the revision of Telecommunication Act of 2006 in the US, the reason why Capital Hill can not come to a certain conclusion is the conflict of interest between ISPs and BSPs in terms of their business model. This concept of Network Neutrality can be useful tool to review the current Korean telecommunication law and its subsets. Korea is a fast growing country in the IT area based upon the internet. We has to maintain the vitality of this industry. From this standpoint, I understand that Network Neutrality has to be basic concept in case of any revision of our current legal system in the telecommunication law area. Furthermore, Korean Fair Trade Commission also can consider this concept in the process of the reviewing any merger or acquisition cases in the telecommunication industry.
Abstract
Network Neutrality is a concept under big debate. We can find a spectrum of this concept. One of the extreme concept does not allow any discrimination against ISP(Internet Service Provider)s such as Google, Skype by BSP(Broadband Service Provider)s such as AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, inclusive of open access between BSPs and ISPs. In the opposite side of this spectrum, there exists a concept that BSPs can exercise their property right as is the same case with the other property rights to secure the incentive for their investment. The character of internet as an open architectural infrastructure has facilitated the technology innovation up to now in the IT area. Network Neutrality issue is a new issue but with a old lessons. In US, West Union in electronic telegraph industry and AT&T in the telephone industry can be referenced to solve the problems in the broadband internet network. However, as we can see in the process for the revision of Telecommunication Act of 2006 in the US, the reason why Capital Hill can not come to a certain conclusion is the conflict of interest between ISPs and BSPs in terms of their business model. This concept of Network Neutrality can be useful tool to review the current Korean telecommunication law and its subsets. Korea is a fast growing country in the IT area based upon the internet. We has to maintain the vitality of this industry. From this standpoint, I understand that Network Neutrality has to be basic concept in case of any revision of our current legal system in the telecommunication law area. Furthermore, Korean Fair Trade Commission also can consider this concept in the process of the reviewing any merger or acquisition cases in the telecommunication industry.
