饱和市场中的移动运营商越来越青睐移动网络共享（MNS），而不是基于设施的竞争。以前对MNS的研究主要集中在它的积极作用上，而消极作用在很大程度上被忽视了。本研究提出了一个决策模型，使用层次分析法来评估不同类型MNS政策的决策标准。该决策模型应用于韩国的无线宽带服务，以确定正面和负面评价标准的相对重要性以及多种MNS政策的偏好。积极的评价标准（即效率）比消极的评价标准（即竞争损害）重要得多。还揭示了在五种备选方法中采用MNS的偏好。研究结果为韩国提供了直接的政策见解，并为其他国家的政策制定者提供了一个可供借鉴的决策框架。
Mobile operators in saturated markets increasingly favor mobile network sharing (MNS) over facility‐based competition. Previous research examining MNS primarily focused on its positive effects, while the negative effects were largely overlooked. This study proposes a decision‐making model using an analytic hierarchy process technique to evaluate decision‐making criteria among various types of MNS policies. The decision‐making model was applied to Wireless Broadband services in Korea to determine the relative importance of both positive and negative evaluation criteria and preference among multiple types of MNS policies. Positive evaluation criteria (that is, efficiency) were far greater in importance than negative evaluation criteria (that is, competition harm). The preference for adopting MNS among five alternative approaches was also revealed. The study findings offer immediate policy insights in Korea and provide a decision‐making framework for policy makers in other countries to utilize.
