Die Verbindung zwischen Netzen (Autonomen Systemen) unterschiedlicher Betreiber erfolgt sowohl durch Peering-Vereinbarung als auch über Transit-Verbindungen. Kommerzielle Transitanbieter bieten ihren Kunden Zugriff auf bzw. Erreichbarkeit für das gesamte Internet. Im Gegensatz dazu wird durch...

This study is focusing on the customer perception towards service quality in the telecommunication industry in Malaysia. Penetration rate in Malaysia have gone more than 100% and it means that each one of the people in Malaysia have at least one account registered with the telecommunication...

We develop a consumer level demand model of telecommunications and broadcasting services considering an exhaustive set of alternatives available to consumers including bundled services. We then estimate switching costs associated with bundling. Previous studies consider restricted choice sets...

Using newly digitized data on the growth of the telegraph network in America during 1840-1852, the paper studies the impacts of the electric telegraph on national elections. I use proximity to daily newspapers with telegraphic connections to Washington to generate plausibly exogenous variation...

This PhD dissertation investigates how to overcome the negative effects of cross cutting concerns in the development of composite service applications. It proposes a combination of dynamic aspect oriented programming with a rules driven service composition mechanism. This combination enables...

Although various emerging technologies have been launched, they present limitations as far as offering full-scale ubiquitous services independently is concerned. In view of this fact, service providers are likely to provide bundled services among possible combinations of services. Indeed, making...

This report is a survey and compilation of the data available that documents three aspects of residential telecommunications services in Canada. The two residential telecommunication services are local telephony (primary exchange services) and high speed internet access (broadband). The data...

With the development of mobile networks, customer needs and behaviours have changed. Mobile communications means so much more than simple voice communication; there is now mobile Internet with web surfing, videophone, streaming media, and micro blogging. The objective of network optimization has...

We analyze the effect of peer influence on the diffusion of an innovative network good. We argue that the adopters of a network good have an incentive to convince others to purchase the same product because their utility depends on the number of other users. This peer-effect influences...

This paper assesses the potential of a combined “USO in communications”, i.e. a USO that simultaneously defines the physical and digital requirements for the conveyance of communication irrespective of the specific sector.

We analyze the effect of peer influence on the diffusion of an innovative network good. We argue that the adopters of a network good have an incentive to convince others to purchase the same product because their utility depends on the number of other users. This peer-effect influences...

The emerging capabilities of mobile telephony provide a promising alternative commerce channel, contributing to the configuration of the appropriate conditions for the forthcoming communication industry convergence. Elaborating on the rapid evolutions on the mobile commerce landscape, this paper...

We analyze the effect of peer influence on the diffusion of an innovative network good, argu-ing that the adopters of a network good have an incentive to convince others to purchase the same product because their utility depends on the number of other users. This peer-effect influences...

We consider a consumption model that takes into account the valuation and demand uncertainties that consumers face while using access services. Typical examples of such services include telecommunication services, extended warranties for consumer electronics, and club memberships. We demonstrate...

Abstract: Using detailed plan-level data, this paper examines the choice, price and quality of broadband services available to consumers in Ireland over time. We find modest geographical (county level) variation in broadband services. Hedonic regression analysis is used to value various...
