Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Simultaneous Multiple Round Ascending Auction (SMRA) pioneered by Milgrom, Wilson and McAfee in 1994 has become a defacto standard auction mechanism for the award of radio spectrum for commercial mobile services around the world. The winning bid price in such SMRA spectrum auctions is of interest as it determines the valuation of the scarce resource by the mobile operators, and also indicates the revenue accrued to the governments as auction proceeds. We examine, using a cross-country panel dataset, the determinants of spectrum prices, of all the SMRA auctions held in about 25 countries during 1994-2019. Our findings indicate that reserve prices fixed by the auctioneer as the starting price of auctions and the competition in the auction are the two variables that significantly affect the winning bid prices positively in SMRA auctions. The effect of reserve prices is more pronounced in regional auctions held in countries such as the U.S. and India. Further, the larger the amount of spectrum put on auction, lesser is the winning bid price, thereby indicating the traditional supply-demand relationship. Based on these findings, we provide policy prescriptions on fixing appropriate reserve prices, providing a clear visibility of spectrum availability, and increasing competition in mobile services for effective use of scarce radio spectrum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those planning and implementing spectrum auctions generally have two primary objectives: increasing economic efficiency (or ensuring that spectrum is made available to those who can gain the most value from use of the spectrum) and revenue maximization (or ensuring that governments receive appropriate revenues from sales of the spectrum). There can, of course, sometimes be a trade-off between these two objectives. For example, a portion of the spectrum available for auction might be designated for new entrants to increase competition at the expense of some loss of revenue from incumbents who might be willing to pay more for additional spectrum than new entrants. Spectrum auction design has a significant impact on the extent to which the primary objectives of economic efficiency and revenue maximization are met. In his path-breaking examination of the policies of the Federal Communications Commission, Coase (1959) defined the terms of the debate on spectrum allocation. Coase argued that administrative licensing of spectrum was inefficient and that establishing a market for spectrum in which spectrum owners would be allowed to purchase, sell, lease, subdivide and aggregate spectrum would lead to more efficient spectrum allocation. A number of studies have built on Coase's insights to argue that administrative spectrum allocation and assignment techniques were inefficient, and that spectrum auctions produce superior results. Studies building on Coase's insights include Cramton's (1995, 1997, 2001) comprehensive analyses of FCC spectrum auctions, Chakravorti et al.'s (1995) study on Personal Communications Services spectrum auctions, de Vany's (1998) analysis of the implementation of market-based spectrum policy, Hazlett's (1990, 1998, 2001, 2008) wide-ranging work including studies of property rights and spectrum allocation, Binmore and Klemperer's (2002) analysis of the British 3G telecom auction, Klemper's (2002a) analysis of the European 3G telecom auctions, and McMillan's (1994, 1995) surveys of spectrum auctions. While these studies have produced rich insights into the determinants of spectrum prices, there appears to be relatively little quantitative analysis of the impact of alternative auction mechanisms on spectrum prices. The purpose of this paper is to help fill this gap by building and estimating a model of spectrum prices which focuses on the impact of alternative auction mechanisms. An outline of the paper is as follows. Section 2 provides a brief overview of auction theory, Section 3 summarizes the data and approach, Section 4 provides the results of the regression analysis, and Section 5 states the conclusions.
Download or read book The Impact of Spectrum Prices on Consumers written by Kalvin Bahia and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The radio spectrum that governments license to mobile operators is central to the quality and affordability of mobile broadband services. However, some government policies - inadvertently or not - result in high prices being paid to access spectrum. This empirical study assesses whether high spectrum prices, and other aspects of spectrum management, had an impact on consumer welfare in 64 countries during the 2010-2017 period. Our empirical strategy isolates the impact of spectrum pricing on consumer outcomes by applying an instrumental variable model and also by considering the 'affordability' of spectrum as a percentage of operator revenues. We find strong evidence that higher spectrum prices cause negative consumer outcomes, including lower coverage levels and slower data speeds. These findings have important ramifications for governments and regulators - particularly those betting on 4G and 5G as enablers of economic growth and sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auctions of licenses to use the radio spectrum conducted by the FCC from 1994-98 will yield $27 billion in receipts to the U.S. treasury. The initial success has generated interest in the use of auctions to raise additional receipts and enhance the value of the spectrum to society. This study examines the results of the initial FCC auctions, the general outlook for future auctions, and the applicability of auctions to the intro. of digital broadcast TV. It also considers the prospects for using auctions and other market mechanisms not only in assigning licenses to specific users, but also in allocating frequencies to different uses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the 1990s, almost all spectrum licenses were given away practically for free-even the first mobile licenses which laid the foundation for multi-billion dollar companies that dominate stock markets around the world. In the past fifteen years, there has been a concerted attempt to liberalise the sector and make it more open to market forces. Th
