The universal access right for broadcasting is the right of viewers who are users of broadcasting to use broadcasting service without physical and economical obstacles. The disputed points of the confrontation phenomenon regarding TV broadcast rights of mega-sports events is checkered by discussions in terms of national citizen s universal access right versus exclusive sports broadcasting right acquired by private broadcasting company and national citizen s individual right of choice for channel . This soon leads to debates on public interest and profitability surrounding the viewers rights and interests. In such circumstances, to resolve conflict for broadcasting rights and realize the value of public interest of sports programs, universal access right was proposed as a solution. Korea s Broadcasting Act did not explicitly stipulate provisions on universal access right initially and from public interest, public interest, and public accountability perspectives for broadcasting, universal access and universality of information were pursued. But after Broadcasting Act was revised (Executed 2007. 4. 27[Law No. 8301, 2007. 1. 26. Partially Revised]), universal access right provision was newly stipulated and regulations began to directly express the concept of universal access. When mega-sports event and similar matters with national interest implications are broadcasted by pay broadcasting on an exclusive basis, general viewers are burdened with additional costs from having to newly subscribe to the service. Although it can expand the market for pay broadcasting, it is opposed to the interests of the viewers. Introduction of universal access and universal access right for sports leads to debate for not only public interest but also marketability surrounding viewers rights and interests. On the other hand, marketability perspective believes that allowing consumers to choose programs from a free market is a certain method to guarantee universal access and denies free viewing of mega-sports events on the basis that public broadcasting receiving fee violates the Roman Statute which governs the national and community subsidy. Discussions on universal access right and universal viewing right does not solely mortgage the public value of sports broadcasting but sports broadcasting must maintain a harmony between the opposing principles of public interest and appropriateness of marketability. For a more detailed legal regulation of the universal access right, a comprehensive research needs to be conducted on extreme price elevation of popular sports broadcasting rights and viewer ratings, selection criteria of important population sports by preferred broadcaster which provides access to majority of citizens to public sports program broadcasts, etc. In addition, there is a need for improvements of Broadcasting Act provisions to provide more details on sports event broadcasting rights and rights to view mega-sports event by all citizens must be guaranteed by stipulating universal access right for relevant laws and regulations in athletics. First, there is need to devise ways to amend the current National Sports Promotion and Sports Industry Promotion Act or enact a National Sports Act on mega-sporting events to strengthen the guarantee for universal access right .
