The technological and commercial innovations that continuously characterize the evolution of the mobile market make the construction of a price index for this industry technically challenging. Indeed, mobile operators offer increasingly complex and diversified products at lower and lower prices. Besides, changes in quality arc reflected by improvements in physical and non-physical characteristics and induce several dimensions in the measurement issue. In the study, we adopt the hedonic price theory to analyze the relation between quality and price in the mobile telephony market during 1996 - 2002 in France. It will be shown that the quality-adjusted price index decline at about 14% from 1997 to 1999 while on the remaining period the price decrease tends to flatten. Then, using estimates from hedonic-price separate equations by operator, the three-mobile providers seem adopting similar pricing behavior. Quality indexes arc also calculated. The results of a comparative analysis indicates that on the period 2000 - 2002 neither the quality nor the price indexes chow significant changes for the three-operators. Theses results are of some consequence, especially after the French antitrust authority decision in December 2005 about the existence of a collusion on the mobile market during the same period (2000 - 2002).","PeriodicalId":442288,"journal":{"name":"2007 6th Conference on Telecommunication Techno-Economics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134153750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being too prudent by setting the tariff too high will most probably put the operator out of competition. On the other hand, setting the tariff too low might skim profits, lead to cannibalization of other services, forcing the operator to raise the tariffs - which clearly has a negative impact on the user satisfaction and coupled market share. Current telecom networks make progressively use of an all IP network, in which all services run over the same infrastructure. While this move allows reducing costs due to economies of scale and scope, it disguises the costs of each of the different services within the full costs of the network. As the tariff is expected to be sustainable in the long run, the costs associated to the roll-out of the new service should at least be covered by the (forecasted) revenues. Different allocation schemes can be used for discovering the costs associated to each of the services over the network, and their use leads to a better understanding of the margins on sustainable tariffs as opposed to stand alone or break even calculations. The whole calculation is largely dependent on the forecasts of adoption, bandwidth growth and cost evolution. Within this paper we will first investigate the sensitivity of the calculated tariff margins on changes of these inputs. In a second phase we will investigate what impact the calculated tariff margin might have on the adoption of the service. We also indicate that there are important changes to these margins when quantifying this impact and using iterative calculations.","PeriodicalId":442288,"journal":{"name":"2007 6th Conference on Telecommunication Techno-Economics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123936701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
