Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the effect of prioritization on competing CPs’ incentives to invest to improve their quality of service (QoS). We show that in the single-homing case, no CP makes a positive amount of investment under net neutrality because the effect of reducing delay is shared by both CPs, while the prioritized CP does not invest to improve QoS in the M/M/1 queuing model in which the effect is shared by the unprioritized CP and both CPs invest for QoS in the bandwidth subdivision model in which the effect is not shared. In the multi-homing case, however, CPs invest for QoS even under net neutrality, because CPs do not virtually compete against each other.

网络中立性和优先顺序下的服务质量竞争

摘要本文研究了优先级对竞争CPs投资以提高服务质量(QoS)的激励的影响。我们表明，在单归一的情况下，没有CP在网络中立性下进行积极的投资，因为减少延迟的效果由两个CP共享，而优先CP在M/M/1队列模型中不投资改善QoS，其中效果由非优先CP共享，两个CP在带宽细分模型中投资QoS，其中效果不共享。然而，在多宿主情况下，即使在网络中立性下，cp也会投资于QoS，因为cp实际上并不相互竞争。

期刊介绍： The Review of Network Economics seeks to help policy makers, academics, and practitioners keep informed of new research and policy debate in network economics and related subjects that are relevant to the study of network industries. By publishing high quality research on topical issues relevant to network industries, it is hoped readers will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the economic issues involved and that this will improve the quality of decision making by private and public organisations, and debate among researchers. The articles can cover specific network industries, or may deal with general issues that have relevance to a number of different network industries, including topics in the economics of networks, regulation, competition law, or industrial organisation. Papers that provide insights into policy debates are especially welcome, as are up-to-date surveys, book reviews, and comments.
