There are similarities in light of mechanism and behavior between tying and bundling. They have common character, that in supplying one's commodities or services to a transaction partner, one forces the partner unreasonably, to purchase another commodity or service from oneself or an enterprise whom one designates. But in spite of a systematic similarity, there are differences in light of competition policy between tying and bundling.

The regulation of tying is to maintain a competition, but the regulation of bundling operates to form a competition on the field of regulated industry, as telecommunication industry.

Therefore it is essential that the regulation of tying on antitrust law and the regulation of bundling on telecommunications law are in existence for an operation of competition mechanism on telecommunications field. And on the basis of the understanding of difference in light of competition policy, we try to accomplish a systemization and harmony of regulations of tying and bundling.
