In this paper we present an innovative framework suitable for the next generation of wireless spectrum allocation. We …. To develop the BYOS framework, we tackled the spectrum allocation problem using a top down approach. We make use of a … quasi-static model of spectrum allocation in which allocation is specific to the type of operators, to build a tiered …

We experimentally investigate four allocation mechanisms - all based on the fair division approach, with varying bid … elicitation methods and price rules - in terms of their allocation efficiency, distributional effects, and regularities in … complicating an efficient allocation. Indeed, observed bidding is dominated by strategic reporting which, however, only marginally …

Recently, the combinatorial clock auction has become more and more common in the auctioning of telecommunication … licenses. Although the auction design is complex, the promise is that bidding becomes simple - truthtelling is close to optimal …. We show that this claim is too strong. The auction entails several strategic complexities which make bidding non-trivial. …

Radio spectrum is a vital asset and resource for mobile network operators. With spectrum in the 800 and 900 MHz bands coverage can be provided with fewer base station sites compared to higher frequency bands like 2.1 and 2.6 GHz. With more spectrum, i.e. wider bandwidth, operators can offer...

This paper examines mobile termination fees and their regulation when networks are asymmetric in size. It is demonstrated that with consumer ignorance about the exact termination rates (a) a mobile network's termination rate is the higher the smaller the network's size (as measured through its...

This paper analyzes how competition works in mobile telecommuncations markets and, bases on this analysis, we discuss whether regulatory intervention in mobile telephone markets is justified from an economic perspective. Starting point of our analysis is the observation that an evaluation of...

This paper analyzes the impact of different payment regimes for mobile-to-mobile off-net calls on the diffusion of mobile telephony, using data on 84 countries from all over the world. Since the decision whether or not countries are likely to switch from RPP to CPP is not independent from...

When a multi-plant firm must close one unit due to declining demand it can choose between two alternatives. On the one hand, the firm can announce a certain span of time in which the plants are evaluated according to relative performance with the least performing plant being shut down in the end...
