摘要
台灣於1980年代進行電信自由化以來，使得電信市場逐漸走向自由競爭，交通部電信總局逐年開放電信事業的執照，使得民營業者也能夠經營電信事業。例如在1997年開放了行動電話執照，以及於2000年時開放固網執照等，就連中華電信也由國家經營逐漸轉型成為民營事業，使得市場由原先的獨占市場成為自由競爭的電信市場。 值得注意的是，國內的管制規範對於傳統資訊、網路或是電信的管制規範乃是以其物理傳輸模式、傳輸平台或是其實體機房設備的有無來做為管制規範的依據。然而資訊技術的日新月異，使得資訊、電信、傳播及網路出現了匯流的情形，許多因為數位化及科技匯流而衍生出來的新興通訊服務(包括電信服務及資訊服務)因而直接挑戰了現存的管制規範。特別是當新興通訊服務和傳統既存的通訊服務產生替代效果時，是否應遵照傳統的管制規範來依其物理傳輸模式、傳輸平台來分別規範；或是依照其服務性質來做出新的管制革新，乃本篇論文所要探討的主題。 本文將以探討新興替代性通訊服務之管制規範為主要的研究方向，先說明現今國內管制規範形成之因素及其管制規範，再輔以國內的新科技如MOD(多媒體隨選視訊)、WiFi(Wireless Fidelity，無線通訊協定之一)及最近方興未艾的網路電話(VoIP)做個案分析，並且分別和其可能具有替代效果的有線電視、第三代行動通訊(3G)及傳統電話做相關市場及市場進入障礙之分析，接著探討現今管制規範對於相似性高之新興通訊服務是否有不同之管制規範存在。特別是在現今科技匯流的情形之下，由於愈來愈難以認定既存之管制規範所規範之電信服務及資訊服務之界線，當傳統通訊服務和新興通訊服務有著高度的相似性或是替代性時，是否應該改變現存之管制規範以因應科技匯流的趨勢，乃本篇論文所要探討的主要議題。

After Taiwan has proceeded the telecom liberalization, the telecom market has transferred gradually to free competition. The Directorate General of Telecommunications deregulates the licenses of telecom business step by step to enable the private enterprise operate the telecom business. For instance the deregulation of the Mobile license in 1997 and the deregulation of the Fixed-line license in 2000, even the Chunghwa Telecom has transferred from a state-run enterprise to a private enterprise. The telecom liberalization in Taiwan has changed the traditional telecom market to free competition telecom market. Worthy of remark, the traditional telecom regulation on information or telecom industry based on the industry’s transfer mode, transfer platform , whether the industry with real facilities or not, to formulate the regulatory framework. However, the progression of new information technology has made the information, telecom, network and communication industries to technology convergence. The digitalization and technology convergence creates lots of new communication services (including telecom services and information services) and therefore challenges the traditional regulatory framework. Especially when the new communication services and the traditional communication services have substitution effect, should we follow the traditional regulatory framework or according to it’s service characteristics to regulate is the main purpose of this thesis. This thesis will focus on a study of regulation on new substitute communication services. The author will first introduce Taiwan’s traditional regulatory framework and then apply case study research method to compare the following cases: (1)MOD V.S Cable, (2)WiFi V.S 3G and(3)VoIP V.S telephone service to analyze Taiwan’s traditional regulatory framework. The author will try to find out the merits and defects of Taiwan’s traditional regulatory framework at first, and then discuss whether the traditional regulatory framework have different regulation on substitute or similar new communication services. Due to the technology convergence, it is very difficult to justify the information services and telecommunication services. Therefore, when the traditional communication services and the new communication services have substitution effect, should we take the regulatory reform to fit the tendency of technology convergence or not is the main point of this thesis.
