We study a retail benchmarking approach to determine access prices forinterconnected networks. Instead of considering fixed access charges asin the existing literature, we study access pricing rules that determinethe access price that network i pays to network j as a linear functionof the...

We study how access pricing affects network competition when consumers'subscription demand is elastic and networks compete with non-linearprices and can use termination-based price discrimination. In the caseof a fixed per minute termination charge, our model generalizes theresults of Gans and...

In this paper, we study how access pricing affects network competition when subscription demand is elastic and each network uses non-linear prices and can apply termination-based price discrimination. In the case of a fixed per minute termination charge, we find that a reduction of the...

We re-examine the literature on mobile termination in the presence of network externalities. Externalities arise when firms discriminate between on- and off-net calls or when subscription demand is elastic. This literature predicts that profit decreases and consumer surplus increases in...
