It is speeding up the discussion of the 'network use contract' bill. The content industry and the telecommunications industry are sharply confronting without narrowing their positions.
The National Assembly's Science and Technology Information and Communications Commission held a public hearing on the 20th and listened to each industry's position on the network use agreement bill. content companies argued that if the network forced the payment, it could have side effects such as 'digital gentrification', and the telecommunications industry said it was natural to pay for the price if the telecommunications industry used the network.
At present, a total of seven amendments to the telecommunications business act, including the bills proposed by Soon Young-chan and the Democratic Party's lawmakers on the 8th, are proposed. In a large framework, the contents' provider (CP) mandates to pay the network to the Internet provider (ISP), or to make a contract.
Earlier, the National Assembly believed that legislation would be possible in a short time because there was no disagreement about the legislation. The Democratic Party has involved the laws of the law in the 22nd public legislative task, which was announced ahead of the regular parliament, and the power of the people has been working on legislative discussions with Kim Youngest.
■ The bill is subject to the bill
The bills related to network use contracts, which are currently being discussed in the National Assembly, are also proposed by the Democratic Party Jean Hymnbook, Kim Sanchez, Lee Woodwork, Soon Young-chan, Representative Kim Youngest, Park Sung-jung, and independent lawmakers.
There are differences in details, but the proposed legislation includes the prohibition of the CP that requires that the CP will provide an Internet access service without paying a fair price for the ISP, and to identify the status of network use. It contains contents that can be published and published.
Most of the bills posted to the National Assembly limit the subjects to the large-scale CP prescribed by Presidential Decree. Legislation related to network use contracts, which will be finally created, is also likely to target only large Cps in consideration of the current proposed bills.
Currently, large Cps, which account for more than 1% of the total traffic in Korea, are Google, Netflix, Meta, Never, and Aka. According to data released by the Ministry of Science and ICT in February, Google accounted for 27.1%in the fourth quarter of last year. ▲ Netflix 7.2% ▲ Meta 3.5% ▲ Never 2.1% ▲ Aka 1.2% followed.
Among them, Meta, Never, and Aka are already paying for network use, and the actual laws are expected to be Google and Netflix.
■ I'm concerned about side effects Google, Netflix, backlit for legislative movements
The content industry, such as Google, is greatly opposed to the movement of legislation. YouTube introduced the petition of Open net Korea, the official blog immediately after the hearing, and urged, If you are concerned about the bill on network use contracts, please give your voice together.
In this article, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific Regional Vice President of German Anand Tube said, It is not fair in that it provides disadvantages to content platforms and domestic creators and allows only ISP profits. It may be necessary to change the method of operating the Korean business.
Choir Sign-in, CEO of Korea Startup Forum, said, I agree with the intention of mandatory payment of payment, but if it has been entrusted with market autonomy, it can have a negative impact on the market by weakening the negotiations of CP startups in the long run. Concerned.
An official in the contents' industry said, If the network is forced to pay, digital gentrification may occur, such as a company moving overseas with low Internet access fees. As the price of network use is burdensome, global companies can reduce investment in domestic contents.
** ■ The telecommunications industry
On the other hand, the telecommunications industry argues that if you use the network, it is natural to pay the price. On the contrary, the law enacts that it can correct the slanted playground between the global CP and domestic CP, which has not been able to pay justifiable, and this can secure domestic contents competitiveness.
The telecommunications industry pointed out that the share of domestic and foreign Cps in the top 10 sites in the daily average traffic is much higher. According to the traffic data submitted by the Democratic Party's Democratic Party from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the share of overseas Cps was 78.5%and domestic Cps were 21.4%as of the second quarter of last year.
An official in the telecommunications industry said, Currently, domestic Cps, except Google and Netflix, are paying for network use. It can be.
Google has not been able to keep it despite the fact that the in-app payment prevention law was passed in February, and rather than using the powerful influence, we are abuse of superior status for domestic Cps and creators. You should not pass the burden they should be to startups or creators.
The telecommunications industry said that the claim that the bills of domestic small and medium-sized Cps will increase. Another official in the telecommunications industry said, The application of the current bill is a large CP, he said. Global Cps, which occupy most of the Internet traffic, are rejecting the Internet trading order.
