Product specification, multi-product screening and bundling: the case of pay TV
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper asks how a for-profit cable or satellite operator allocates a fixed channel capacity to different program types and how the different channels are bundled and priced. It also addresses the question how channel allocation and bundling decisions made by a for-profit firm differ from the decisions a welfare-maximizing firm would make. It also examines the effect on profits and welfare of two regulatory constraints that limit the operator's choices in regard to the number of distinct bundles that may be offered to subscribers.
