디지털시대에 대비한 방송법 개정 논의의 방향과 한계: 방송위원회 방송법 개정안 분석을 중심으로

Korean Broadcasting Commission has faced up to the considerable ‘try and error’ and the confrontation in the process of policy decision and practice since the enactment of Broadcasting Act in the 2000 year. The important source of problem is a limit of Broadcasting Law. Therefore, Korean Broadcasting Commission’s reforming the Broadcasting Law is very valid and meaningful. But it cause the great confrontation and conflict about the opaque of reforming process and the content. This paper examines the background of this reforming bill and analyse and estimates the reforming content. As a result of analysing, I find the several problems in the reforming bill. 1) Reforming Broadcasting Law bill will bring about the ‘chilling effect’because the too extension of a broadcasting concept. 2) It has deficiency in conceptual clarity to regulate the various new media broadcasting service systematically. 3) It will einforce the 3 terrestrial broadcasting oligopoly that has been indicated the most essential problem of our broadcasting structure. 4)eregulation doctrine is not contained, likely reducing the entry barrier of satellite broadcasting and cable television. 5) Leave the legal status of Korean Broadcasting Commission alone, the strengthen of power and role brings about the conflict among the related regulatory bodies. 6) Uncleared public and private dual broadcasting system that indicated as important factor of Korean broadcasting policy chaos is not revised. In conclusion, this reforming broadcasting bill is required the complement and revision in spite of reforming motive and background.
