Network Competition with Heterogeneous Calling Patterns
Network Competition with Heterogeneous Calling Patterns by Wouter Dessein We show how differences in demand and unbalanced call flows affect considerably the pricing strategies of competing telecommunications networks and this both for competition in linear and nonlinear pricing. Differences in demand give also scope for targeted entry. If networks are close substitutes, we show that an incumbe...
متن کاملNetwork competition with heterogeneous customers and calling patterns
The telecommunications industry is a fragmented market, characterized by a tremendous amount of customer heterogeneity. This paper shows how such customer heterogeneity dramatically affects nonlinear pricing strategies: (i) First, if there are unbalanced calling patterns between different customer types, networks make larger proÞts on the least attractive customers. In addition, the nature of t...
متن کاملAsymmetric Network Interconnection
We develop a model of competition between interconnected networks, that allows for carriers to differ in size. Under two-part pricing, we show that because of asymmetry the larger network will always prefer a reciprocal interconnection charge be set at cost. For sufficiently large asymmetry the smaller network will have the same preference. Under the assumptions of our model a particularly simp...
متن کاملNetwork Competition and Interconnection with Heterogeneous Subscribers
This paper analyses two-way access pricing in a telecommunications market where consumers are heterogeneous in their demand for calls and firms are allowed to use nonlinear tariffs. We first investigate how the presence of access charges affects the tariffs offered by firms in symmetric equilibrium. Next we show that under certain conditions each firm’s profit is independent of the level of (re...
متن کاملDistributed Storage in Heterogeneous and Asymmetric Networks
We introduce a distribution problem that examines the question of how the fragments of a file should be distributed to multiple servers such that the asymmetric bandwidths of the servers are used optimally by the bidirectional transmission in order to minimise the transfer times. We present three efficient techniques that solve this problem optimally. The first algorithm, IterativeSqueezing, it...
