Abstract: In this study, a stated preference discrete choice experiment is applied to model subscription choices between standardized packages of fixed-line telecommunications services in a sample of individuals in Poland. We provide willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates for telephony, broadband and pay TV offered as stand-alone services and dual or triple-play bundles. The main goal of the paper is to investigate substitutability and complementarity between various component services based on estimated valuations. Considerable preference heterogeneity towards fixed-line services is identified and explained by service profile and usage intensity.
