AB - This study aims to analyse current regulatory bodies and their changes, thereafter to draw policy implications to prepare for the convergence between broadcasting and telecommunication.
An theoretical framework was constructed by combining possibilities of government and commission in its form. According to the four types, USA, Japan, the Great Britain, France, Germany and Korea were examined.
As results of the analysis, a general pattern to unify current regulatory bodies emerged in USA, Japan, and the Great Britain. USA has begun to reorganize FCC internally. Japan failed to establish an independent organization such as FCC, and transferred all the functions of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in the past to the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications. The Great Britain has spurred to establish an unitary OFCOM which would absorb existing five regulatory bodies.
A special pattern was found in the cases of France and Germany: Interestingly enough, France changed from an unitary regulatory system to separated one in oder to protect cultural sovereignty of broadcasting sector. Germany has tried to resolve problems by operating 'standing committees' among regulatory bodies.
Korea belongs to the type of separated regulatory system between broadcasting and telecommunication like the Great Britain, France and Germany. With regards to regulatory system, many structural similarities existed between Korea and the Great Britain than any other countries. It was strongly suggested to compare both countries in detail for further research.
