| Abstract | |
| This contribution explores the properties under competition law and related analytical factors of spectrum sharing, which is allowed under Telecommunications Management Act among 5G mobile telecommunications operators. Based on preliminary remarks and analysis of infrastructure sharing of mobile telecommunications, including its technical, regulatory, and competitive aspects, comparative legal studies focusing on whether and how Article 14 of the FTC Act, which pertains to concerted actions, applies to the cooperative behaviors concerning spectrum sharing are conducted. The said behaviors are categorized into two types, “entry enhancing” and “network developing,” according to the spectrums licensed to and shared by the operators, where only the latter type has the potential to be deemed as a concerted action. An analysis on the review concerning the approval of the latter type of cooperation under Article 15 of the Act is then provided. | |
