Do international roaming alliances harm consumers?
Bühler, Benno - 2009
We develop a model of international roaming in which mobile network operators (MNOs) compete both on the wholesale … services provided by foreign MNOs. We show that in absence of international alliances and capacity restrictions, competition … international alliances in which members mutually provide roaming services at inefficiently high wholesale prices. Alliances serve …

Network asymmetries and access pricing in cellular telecommunications
Kocsis, Viktória - 2005
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...

Threshold of Preference for Collusion and Interconnection Fees in Different Market Structures : The Tunisian Mobile Market Case
Debbichi, Sami - 2013
We present a Cournot model that compares the critical threshold of collusion in Duopoly and Oligopoly Markets where the actors are private, mixed or public. We assume that the incentive critical threshold for collusion depends on the interconnection fees. The different threshold values...

Market Penetration and Late Entry in Mobile Telephony
Hoernig, Steffen - 2014
We consider some two dynamic models of entry in mobile telephony, with and without strategic pricing, and taking into account market penetration at entry, locked-in consumers and tariff-mediated network externalities. We show that on/off-net differentials may reduce the possibility of entry if...

Cellular Competition and the Weighted Spectrum Screen
Peha, Jon M. - 2015
If one or two cellular carriers gain control of enough spectrum, they may be able to prevent current and potential rivals from getting the spectrum needed to compete effectively. Thus, regulators typically attempt to protect competition through some form of limit on how much spectrum any one...

Market Conduct and Endogenous Lobbying : Evidence from the U.S. Mobile Telecommunications Industry
Duso, Tomaso; Jung, Astrid - 2003
This paper empirically explores the relationship between firms' market behavior and their lobbying activities in a regulated market. In particular, we investigate whether the amount of contributions offered by cellular service providers to fund the campaigns of political parties affected market...
