我國電信事業間套利行為的態樣分析及可能的解決方案

隨著科技的進步，經濟的發展，人與人之間透過電話聯繫已相當普遍，此時通信必須藉由電信事業間的網路互連來完成。此即，牽涉到電信事業間的交易須支付對方互連拆帳費用，通稱接續費。以一家行動電話公司而言，接續費收入佔其整體營收近三成，接續費的支出佔其營業成本近四成，這對一家電信公司的營運上佔有相當重要的份量。作者從事電信事業間網路互連拆帳的實務經驗上，發現電信事業間因接續拆帳衍生的套利行為層出不窮。本論文藉由歸納發生在我國電信事業間套利的案例，彙整各種套利的態樣，從套利的態樣找出共同的屬性，進而從各種發生套利的屬性中，提出可行的解決方案。電信事業間套利行為主要起因於交易過程中的資訊不對稱。通信過程中由於發信端網路較受信端網路擁有更多的資訊，如發信端號碼及信令資訊，形成在交易過程中有資訊不對稱的情形發生，造成交易行為的扭曲並產生套利。作者研究發現，將我國電信事業的套利的屬性，歸類為法規制度與協議、業務合作及技術能力三大類，並提出藉由法規制度修訂、網路互連協議、資費設計、受理申裝的管控、風險控管及共同建立資料庫等制度上的設計與改進，來減少交易過程中資訊不對稱的情形，降低套利的行為發生。

Communications between people via telephone become more common today. It has to be done by interconnecting the operators’ network. Thus, the transaction between operators will be happened and in gereral originating network pays interconnection fee to terminating network. According to Mobile operator, the income of interconnection fee accounts for 30% of total revenue, while the payout of interconnection fee is 40% of total expenses. Therefore, the interconnection fee plays an important role of teleocmmunications in operations. We found that the arbitrage between telecommunications operators arises from information asymmetry between operators during the interconnection. Normally, the originating network owns more information than the terminating network in terms of calling line identity and signaling. It could categorize three types of arbitrage, consisting of regulatory-related, business-related and technology-related arbitrage. There are several possible proposals to be addressed such as the amendment of regulation, revision of interconnection agreement, improvement of the design of the tariff, the management of risk control, and the build-up of database for the models of arbitrage, etc to reduce the issues of information asymmetry.
