Download or read book Local Telephone Costs and the Design of Rate Structures written by Bridger M. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well-developed body of economic theory is available to guide the setting of prices for the multi-product regualated firm. Economic efficiency can be increased by designing rate structures that incorporate the basic principles developed from this theory. These principles call for provisionally pricing each of the firm's outputs at its marginal cost, testing to determine whether such rates satisfy a specified budget constraint (e.g., revenues = costs), and then suitably modifying the marginal-cost rates in order to satisfy the constraint. Most commonly, the trial rates produce insufficient revenue, and then rates must be raised according to the Ramsey rule--prices are increased above marginal costs in inverse proportion to the individual price elasticities of demand. This paper applies ratemaking theory to the design of rate structures for local telephone calls that efficiently rate the costs of the local network.

This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The UK mobile phone market is one of the most competitive markets in the world. This sector has developed and also expanded over the years and the increasing competition has resulted into falling consumer prices of the mobile phones. The increased competition in the UK mobile phone market has underpinned decline in their prices despite the increasing demand from the mobile users (Ofcom, 2014). New investments and innovations have been witnessed in the mobile market in the UK which has resulted into new products and network services hence increasing the choice by the consumers. The consumers view on the mobile market in the UK is that the prices of these products are favorable, and the prices are competitive because of the increasing number of players in the market (Ofcom, 2014). Research in the UK market, therefore, shows that the mobile phones prices have continued to fall despite the increasing demand from the mobile phones users. This forms the basis of this research to explain the factors that determine the prices of mobile phones in the UK an also examine why the prices have continued to fall despite the increasing demand from the users in the UK.
Download or read book High Cost Subsidies and Telephone Company Costs written by Daniel J. Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local telephone companies serving higher cost areas qualify for subsidies to defray many of their expenses. High Cost Loop Support assists companies with above-average loop expenses. Local Switching Support subsidizes switching expenses of companies with fewer than 50,000 lines. Both schemes encourage carriers to overbuild the network because a diminished portion of costs is recovered from the company's own customers. Technology choices may be skewed where network elements are subsidized at different rates. A cost model of the local telephone company demonstrates substantial excess expenditures, but the effect on technology choices appears modest.
Download or read book Who Pays for Universal Service written by Robert W. Crandall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In virtually every country, the price of residential access to the telephone network is kept low and cross-subsidized by business services, long distance calling, and various other telephone services. This pricing practice is widely defended as necessary to promote "universal service," but Crandall and Waverman show that it has little effect on telephone subscriptions while it has major harmful effects on the value of all telephone service. The higher prices for long distance calls reduce calling, shift the burden of paying for the network to those whose social networks are widely dispersed. Therefore, many poor and rural households--the intended beneficiaries of the pricing strategy--are forced to pay far more for telephone service than they would if prices reflected the cost of service. Despite these burdens, Congress has extended the subsidies to advanced services for schools, libraries, and rural health facilities. Crandall and Waverman show that other regulated utilities are not burdened with similarly inefficient cross-subsidy schemes, yet universality of water, natural gas, and electricity service is achieved. As local telephone service competition develops in the wake of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the universal-service subsidy system will have to change. Subsidies will have to be paid from taxes on telecom services and paid directly to carriers or subscribers. Crandall and Waverman show that an intrastate tax designed to pay for each state's subsidized subscriptions is far less costly to the economy than an interstate tax. Robert W. Crandall is a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. Leonard Waverman is a visiting professor at the London Business School, on leave from the University of Toronto. They are coauthors of Talk Is Cheap: The Promise of Regulatory Reform in North American Telecommunications (Brookings, 1995).

Download or read book Alternative Measured service Rate Structures for Local Telephone Service written by Bridger M. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ex-post option would constitute a market test that could discriminate between alternative explanations of consumers' observed preferences for flat-rate service. By choosing the ex-post option consumers could obtain information about their own local telephone usage at low cost. If they presently select flat-rate service primarily because of uncertainty about what their bills would be under measured rates, then an optional ex-post rate should be popular. However, if consumers' choices to date reflect the behavior of informed subscribers who derive utility simply from being able to place local calls at a zero price, then providing an ex-post option will not significantly increase the total number of consumers on a measured rate. In this case, the market data would provide a method of measuring the 'utility premium' that subscribers attach to flat rates (Mitchell 1979c). The finding of a large premium would support the offering of optional flat-rate service on a subsidy-free basis. This approach would then be desirable even when--because measuring costs are small--mandatory measured service would otherwise be judged a welfare-superior rate structure.
