Side-payment profitability depending on sensitivity of linear-demand to price of access and content
نویسنده
چکیده
This note is concerned with the issue of sidepayments between content providers (CPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) in a potentially not-neutral Internet. Previously, we found that side-payments were not profitable under communal demand response for different types of providers. Here, we consider different (though coupled) linear demand response to usage based prices applied by each provider type, and find conditions on demand sensitivities for overall profitability. The model is extended to account for competition among similar providers of the same type using a simple model of user loyalty to their existing provider.

Side-payment profitability and interacting eyeball ISPs under convex demand-response modeling congestion-sensitive applications
This paper is concerned with the issue of side payments between content providers (CPs) and Internet service (access bandwidth) providers (ISPs) in an Internet that is potentially not neutral. We herein generalize past results modeling the ISP and CP interaction as a noncooperative game in two directions. We consider different demand response models (price sensitivities) for different provider ...
متن کاملMulti-item inventory model with probabilistic demand function under permissible delay in payment and fuzzy-stochastic budget constraint: A signomial geometric programming method
This study proposes a new multi-item inventory model with hybrid cost parameters under a fuzzy-stochastic constraint and permissible delay in payment. The price and marketing expenditure dependent stochastic demand and the demand dependent the unit production cost are considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered. The main objective of this paper is to determine selling price, mar...

Home Energy Management (HEM) programs convince residential customers to actively participate in price-based demand response (DR) programs. In these price-oriented HEM methods, controller timing for energy consumption of home appliances in response to the electricity price signal has multiple priorities among customers. Although various methods have recently been proposed for the use of HEM, pri...

In this paper, seller-buyer supply chain coordination with general side-payment contracts is introduced to gain the maximum possible chain profit. In our model, the logistics costs for both buyer and seller are considered and the final demand is also supposed to be a decreasing function of the retail price. Since parties aim to maximize their individual profits, the contractual parameters are s...
