An empirical study on Korea's telecommunication policy: Focusing on the effect of MVNO

This study is an empirical study on the effect on the reduction of telecommunication charges of the introduction of MVNO in Korea. The dependent variable is the average monthly communication fee. The independent variables are whether or not to join the MVNO. The control variables are gender, age, education, income, occupation, mobile phone type, number of mobile phones, welfare plan, daily phone call time and daily mobile phone internet access time. As a result of the analysis, the effect of introduction of MVNO was not significant. We need a policy mix that makes it possible for government efforts to promote competition and innovative management strategies of MVNO operators to work synergistically together.
