Asymmetric 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 کاملAsymmetric access price regulation in telecommunications markets1
In liberalized telecommunications markets, the incumbent typically enjoys several advantages over any entrant. Regulation in such asymmetric markets is successful if retail prices are low and the entrant’s pro...ts are high so that entry is encouraged. I show that asymmetric access price regulation with a cost-based access price for the incumbent and an access markup for the entrant is more suc...
متن کاملNetwork 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 کاملOn-net and off-net pricing on asymmetric telecommunications networks
The differential between on-net and off-net prices, for example on mobile telephony networks, is hotly debated between telecoms operators and regulators. Small operators contend that their competitors’ high off-net prices are anticompetitive. We show that if the utility of receiving calls is taken into account, the equilibrium pricing structures will indeed depend on firms’ market shares. Large...
متن کاملLearning Nash Equilibria in Non-Cooperative Games
Game Theory (Von Neumann & Morgenstern, 1944) is a branch of applied mathematics and economics that studies situations (games) where self-interested interacting players act for maximizing their returns; therefore, the return of each player depends on his behaviour and on the behaviours of the other players. Game Theory, which plays an important role in the social and political sciences, has rec...
