4th Industrial Revolution is the result of the massive convergence of physical system and telecommunication infrastructure. Open access network for telecommunications policy has become more important than ever due to the appearance of cyber-physical system in 4th Industrial Revolution. This paper, firstly, will narrow down the meaning of 4th Industrial Revolution into smart city, one of the most representative fields of convergence of physical system and telecommunications in the cities. Second part will analyze the structural reasons for amplifying importance of open access network in telecommunications market due to the rise of 4th Industrial Revolution. Third part will bring Japanese, UK and Australian cases to prove the relation of open access network policy and smart city which was discussed in first and second parts, as they adopted open access network as their telecommunication policy to encourage the appearance of new smart city services. This part will reveal how the separation of NTT West and East, BT and Telstra through functional, legal and structural separation has brought the emergence of convergence of non-telecommunication areas with telecommunication system. In conclusion, it will emphasize the role of open access network in telecommunication for telecommunication policy maker who is deeply concerned about accomplishment of 4th Industrial Revolution.
