Network Asymmetries and Access Pricing in Cellular Telecommunications
Network shares and retail prices are not symmetric in the telecommunications market with multiple bottlenecks which give rise to new questions of access fee regulation. In this paper we consider a model with two types of asymmetry arising from different entry timing, i.e. a larger reputation for the incumbent and lower cost of servicing for the entrant as a result of more advanced technology. A...
متن کاملAsymmetric Equilibria and Non-cooperative Access Pricing in Telecommunications
This paper looks at competition in the Telecommunication industry with non-linear tariffs and network based price discrimination where one of the networks has a relative advantage. We investigate profit-maximizing network pricing behaviour, in particular competitively chosen unregulated non-cooperative access prices at potentially asymmetric market equilibira.
متن کاملSpectrum auctions, pricing and network expansion in wireless telecommunications
This paper examines the effects of licensing conditions, in particular of spectrum fees, on the pricing and diffusion of mobile communications services. Seemingly exorbitant sums paid for 3G licenses in the UK, Germany in 2000 and similarly high fees paid by U.S. carriers in the re-auctioning of PCS licenses early in 2001 raised concerns as to the impacts of the market entry regime on the mobil...
متن کاملNonlinear Pricing of Telecommunications with Call and Network Externalities∗
This paper investigates how call and network externalities affect a monopolist’s optimal nonlinear tariff in a two-way telecommunication service market, where consumers’ valuations for outgoing and incoming calls are positively correlated and the firm is not allowed to charge incoming calls. It is shown that, in contrast to the traditional efficiency-on-the-top result, all subscribers including...
متن کاملPriority Network Access Pricing for Electric Power
We propose a priority-pricing scheme for zonal access to the electric power grid that is uniform across all buses in each zone. The Independent System Operator (ISO) charges bulk power traders a per unit ex-ante transmission access fee based on the expected option value of the generated power with respect to the random zonal spot prices. The zonal access fee depends on the injection zone and a ...
