Telecommunications Policy, 2010, vol. 34, issue 10, 633-648

Abstract: In this paper, various equilibria are analyzed according to the leader-follower relationship between vertically integrated incumbents when downstream entries are present. This analysis broadens our understanding of the incentives involved in deciding the wholesale price, which can be applied to explain the different situations of diffusion of mobile virtual network operators in the telecommunications market. Several implications are derived to facilitate effective policy formulation and management.
