모바일 플랫폼 중립성의 개념 정립 = Defining the Concept of Platform Neutrality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

FCC announced Network neutrality guideline last year. There were a big debate between the Democrats nominated commissioners were on the same side with the chairman who is supportive on the rule making on favor of Network neutrality. Network neutrality, in other words Internet neutrality is a principle which advocates no restrictions by Internet service providers or governments on consumers’ access to networks that participate in the internet. Specifically, network neutrality would prevent restrictions on content, sites, platforms, the kinds of equipment that may be attached, or the modes of communication.
Verizon wireless becomes the first case. A media reform group named Free Press complained to the Federal Communication Commission June 2011 that the wireless service provide is violating FCC guidelines by preventing users from using third party tethering Apps.
The Wireless internet network becomes the center of neutrality turmoil after the Comcast case by Court. This case has close relationship with the platform operator like Google. Google was the strongest lobbying group to take the net neutrality. Now the platform matters.
In this article, I try to define the concept of platform neutrality by analysing the features of platform related ecosystem and how the innovation in that context is to be developed has to be awarded by the regulator. Considering the two-sided market feature of the internet based services, cross leverage effect newly coined word by myself has to be studied thinking of the Microsoft case early 2000.
