電信語音服務編碼規劃之法制與政策分析 The Regulation of Telephone Numbers — A Legal and Policy Analysis
Abstract
電信編碼是電信網路通信的基本要件，為新進業者進入電信市場的關鍵之一，另一方面其性質與頻譜類似，屬於供給有限的國家稀有資源之一。電信市場結構與電信編碼的使用需求隨著電信市場的開放已有重大變革，適切的電信編碼政策對於電信服務的發展有其重要性。本文將對外國電信管制機關的電信編碼政策進行研究，從而對我國電信編碼政策從競爭法層面及競爭政策層面進行特徵分析及驗證，論證我國電信編碼規劃仍有值得改進之處，必須解決各類電信語音業務之號碼使用問題，方有助於促進電信市場的公平競爭與新興電信服務之發展。 Telephone numbers play an important role when a new telecom entrant would like to offer voice services to its users. Moreover, the nature of telephone number is similar to that of spectrum, and therefore, is generally considered as scarce resources. In recent decades, the structure of the telecom market and the need of telephone numbers have changed a lot due to deregulation of the telecommunication market. As a result, a well developed telephone numbering plan is of significant importance. This article uses a comparative approach to analyze the telephone numbering plans of United Kingdom and Australia, and then compares them with the Taiwanese telephone numbering plan. In addition, this article suggests that the Taiwanese regulator of the telecom industry shall make some improvements on the telephone numbering plan so that the goals of maintaining fair competition and developing new telecom services can be achieved accordingly.
