Bundle pricing for location-based mobile services
نویسندگان
چکیده
Locations-based services are a promising revenue source for the market players in mobile business. A critical parameter for accruing revenue is the applied pricing strategy. This paper proposes the introduction of bundle pricing in the market of location-based services and describes a research model that will be used to test its applicability and indicate its robustness. To motivate the proposed research, the key players of location-based services’ market are identified and the main theoretical results on bundle pricing are briefly presented. Then, the proposed research model is discussed to indicate how economic theory’s results may be applied in a real market case.

متن کاملDesign and evaluation of two scalable protocols for location management of mobile nodes in location based routing protocols in mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Heretofore several position-based routing protocols have been developed for mobile ad hoc networks. Many of these protocols assume that a location service is available which provides location information on the nodes in the network.Our solutions decrease location update without loss of query success rate or throughput and even increase those.Simulation results show that our methods are effectiv...

متن کاملMobile Service Bundles: The Example of Navigation Services
In this paper we explore which bundles of services are attractive to users. We look specifically into bundle composition with navigation services as core, and travel and entertainment related services as complementary services. Pricing is an important criterion as well. We use conjoint measurement as a tool to assess which combination of services and price is the most attractive for users. We f...
