Pricing complementary telephone services: The cases of payphone and operator service providers

John T. Wenders

Telecommunications Policy, 1993, vol. 17, issue 5, 390-396

Abstract: This article argues that the higher telephone prices that have emerged in the payphone and alternative operator services (AOS) industries are the result of competitive forces operating in the retail markets served by aggregators. Since these prices are competitive, any attempt to set them at levels that prevail elsewhere in the economy will damage consumer welfare.
