Alternative NTS cost recovery plans and the bypass issue

Brooks Albery

Telecommunications Policy, 1988, vol. 12, issue 1, 36-41

Abstract: This article is the result of research into the suitability of declining block end-user tariffs for addressing the switched network bypass problem. It develops a refined version of the bypass model used by Gerald Brock and applies it to the NYNEX alternative non-traffic-sensitive cost recovery plan as well as to the FCC subscriber line change plan. The results of the analysis provide insight into the abilities of the two plans to address the bypass issue. The Brock bypass model itself represents a cost-effective method of assessing the benefits of forthcoming cost recovery proposals and, as such, refines and reintroduces a valuable policy analysis tool.
