The growth of home networking industry, which has been built up on the development of wire & wireless network technology and HA-equipped apartments, is now grounded on the top high-speed internet access rates in the world and the supply of new housings mostly by apartment buildings.
Home network is a fusion industry of IT industry and Non-IT industry mixed up with the housing industry and the home information system and devices as well as the tele-broadcasting network, which has a keen coordination with the high-end industry cultivation policy of each country. The government also has selected the home network as a newly growing dynamic industry, and carries out its execution expecting the production effect of 120 billion dollars and value-added effect of 80 billion dollars by 2010.
It is also true that there are some obstacles in the market activation in initial stage, even though there are facing tasks to trigger the domestic industry and to secure the market with competitiveness to advance into overseas by earlier agreement and fruition in the viewpoint that home networking industry can ensure the international competitiveness through the standardization of its technology.
The objective of this study, therefore, is to look into the obstacles in the government policy and legal system that has hindered in the activation of its industry, while the government had selected home network a newly growing dynamic industry of next generation and prepared various policy and systems for it, and to suggest the activation plan for the growth of home networking industry in full swing.
To achieve the objective, this study has reviewed the literature of industrial characteristics of home network, forecast of the industry in home and overseas markets, driving policies in major countries and enterprises, also indicated the supplementation and improvement of the government's policy and legal system after analyzation of the existing controversial points in it that has been driving forward by the government.
As a result of the study, the home network policies that had been driven in aspect of the government, by Ministry of Information & Communication, Ministry of Construction & Transportation, and Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Energy, following the necessity of each ministry, have provided the opportunity and support for its market acceleration, however, it is also the reality that they have added up some confusion and burdens to the enterprises. To attain the joint goal of activating the home networking industry, therefore, it is required to move forward with swift supplementation and improvement of all sorts of the systems by operating an integrated organization for close discussion and roll-sharing with each other in order to collect the industry opinions and to secure the reliability and consistency of the government policy, which also is the first priority of the future policy.
As for the improvement of regulation and system, the system supplementation is necessary for the promotion of its system & service development that requires huge amount of initial investment. It must be considered to support construction companies, who are the main body of its popularization in the initial market place, for the promotion and distribution of the high quality home networking systems.
It will make the catalyst to the construction companies, who are the main body for its spread in the initial market place, to soften the restrictions and to enhance or preserve the profit of them when they adopt home networking systems in new housings, rebuilding, and remodeling.
In addition, it is requested to legislate the fusion law and enforcement ordinance of broadcasting and communication and the operation of integrated organization in early stage, because the IP-TV is going to spread actively, which is surfacing up as a representative service using the built-in home networking system, also it is desirable to activate the remote medical service to prepare for the aging society by abolition of the restrictions for remote medical services.
