Abstract In an influential paper, Choi and Kim (2010) established the invariance result that given a fixed network capacity, the average waiting times are identical regardless of net neutrality. In this paper, we argue that their result relies on the assumption that the distribution for content...

Abstract This paper examines the effect of prioritization on competing CPs’ incentives to invest to improve their quality of service (QoS). We show that in the single-homing case, no CP makes a positive amount of investment under net neutrality because the effect of reducing delay is shared by...

We consider a model of Internet interconnection. We characterize the Myerson value as the bargaining outcome in interconnection agreements in given networks and provide its interpretation in terms of "betweenness centrality." Then, in an extended network formation model, we characterize the...
