In South Korea, the value of IPRs in the media industry has garnered particular attention, as exports of cultural and artistic copyrights have contributed to a national IPR balance surplus. South Korea has also transitioned from being a net importer of foreign culture to a major content exporter, with the growth of its media industry capturing global interest. The country now faces various challenges as it seeks to transcend content production as a product. Instead, it aims to secure and leverage IPRs through diverse strategies to generate higher added value. In this context, research investigating the driving factors associated with content-based IPR exports carries substantial academic and industrial significance. Therefore, this study empirically examines the factors affecting the export of cultural and artistic IPRs over 14 years from 2010 to 2023. By employing hierarchical-multiple regression and time-lagged regression analysis, it identifies the determinants of Korea's cultural and artistic copyright exports and quantitatively assesses their relative effects. The findings reveal that critical factors include public investment in content production support within Korea's media industry and global demand for Korean content, as indicated by subscriber growth on global over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Based on these results, this study offers academic, industrial, and policy insights for enhancing content-based IPR exports at the national level.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"50 1","pages":"Article 103078"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is based on a panel of 50 African countries covering the period 2000–2021. The empirical strategies employed include probit and instrumental variable probit (IV-Probit) models to address endogeneity. Contrary to the thesis that ICTs accelerate deindustrialization by promoting reallocation towards the tertiary sector, our results show that ICT development can mitigate premature deindustrialization in Africa. These results remain robust to different specifications of the baseline model. Moreover, the mediation analysis reveals that this effect mainly passes through the promotion of innovation and the improvement of human capital.

However, the impact of mobile Internet coverage on social backwardness is not well-documented, especially in rural settings. On the one hand, mobile Internet coverage reduces transaction costs and facilitates access to new markets, offering significant benefits to remote rural villages. On the other hand, unequal diffusion of the mobile Internet may exacerbate the digital divide, preventing the most deprived villages from taking full advantage of its benefits. Using an ordered probit model with instrumental variables and a dataset that integrates novel and spatial data on the 3G and 4G coverage of major mobile network operators, official information on social backwardness, and data from National Population and Housing Censuses, this paper examines whether mobile Internet coverage impacts social backwardness in rural Mexico considering the endogeneity of Internet diffusion. Our results suggest that mobile Internet coverage reduces social backwardness, thereby helping to mitigate social inequality among populations residing in rural Mexican villages. Moreover, the evidence indicates that the combined presence of both 3G and 4G technologies yields a slightly greater impact on diminishing social backwardness than either technology alone. These findings highlight the need to strengthen public-private collaborations and public intervention aimed at expanding mobile Internet coverage across rural Mexico.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 10","pages":"Article 103054"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145600512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new era of AI-enabled election campaigns presents regulatory challenges for digital media ecosystems, prompting calls for an updated governance framework. While research has begun mapping AI's role in digital media ecosystems, an often-overlooked factor is public attitudes toward regulating AI in election campaigns. Understanding these attitudes is essential as regulatory debates unfold at national and international levels, where public opinion often constrains the leeway of political decision-makers. We analyze data from two cross-sectional surveys conducted in the United States and Taiwan—two democracies with relatively lenient campaign regulations, which held presidential elections in the same year. We examine the role of general attitudes toward AI, psychological dispositions, and partisan alignments in shaping public support for AI regulation during elections. Our findings underscore the significance of psychological and attitudinal perspectives in predicting regulatory preferences. These insights contribute to broader discussions on AI governance within digital media ecosystems and its implications for democratic processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 10","pages":"Article 103072"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145600522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing research predominantly examines individual e-government policies in isolation, limiting understanding of how policy mixes influence critical outcomes such as environmental quality and highlighting the need for comprehensive empirical analysis. This study constructs a quasi-experiment to assess the impact of e-government policy mixes, including the national e-government pilots, the big data management reform pilots, and the national information benefit pilots, on air pollution levels in over 200,000 communities across China over the past two decades. The empirical results demonstrate that these e-government policy mixes achieved primary synergistic effects in environmental improvement, significantly reducing community air pollution levels. These findings remain robust after rigorous validation through parallel trends testing, conditional random assignment verification, and stable unit treatment value assumption checks. The mechanism behind this effect lies in the enhanced enforcement capabilities of environmental agencies and increased citizen participation in environmental actions. These findings advance understanding of e-governance effectiveness from a policy mixes perspective, providing critical insights for optimizing e-government portfolio design for environmental sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 10","pages":"Article 103069"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145600517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
