  Abstract

Local Loop Unbundling(LLU) has been understood as the way of facilitate the competition on the access and the local telephone service market. There are major benefits of stimulating the competition in the local service, avoiding access network duplication and reducing in environmental disruption. However, LLU has several disadvantages such as removing incentives for buliding alternative access networks, undermining existing investment in alternative access networks, introducing new substantial costs to the industry and requiring prolonged and detailed regulatory intervention. The economic effects of LLU generally will be different according to the specitial situation of each countires and the object of LLU. In case of EU, most of countries have already introduced and implemented LLU. But EU can't expect the economic effects on LLU emerged in the early stage of introducing it and faced with dilemma. To be realized the successful implementation of LLU, I think, it is required to be reviewed about the main issues such as the problem of regulation, the reasonable level of LLU pricing and the technical & operational problems.
