In a monopolistic cable television (CATV) service market, it is generally believed that tiered charging is beneficial to consumer surplus as compared to flat rate charging while it is likely to reduce supplier income. Can the addition of a carefully designed Price-Channel-Downscaled (PCD) package to a flat rate (FR) package stimulate enough new subscribers and achieve Pareto improvement between cable operators and consumers? This paper builds, by using empirical data, i) a market model to capture the characteristics of a monopolistic market, ii) a consumer preference model, where consumer preferences are in Gaussian distributions and are additive in individual channel values, and iii) a consumer decision model to describe the choices of consumers. A leader-follower game formulation then describes the interactions between system operators and consumers. Analyses of FR and FR plus PCD packages derive the conditions of consumer preferences and prices and number of channels in a package under which PCD revenue can cover the switching loss from FR to PCD, namely, the conditions that FR plus PCD may lead to Pareto improvement over the current FR only package. Simulation study based on empirical data of Yong Kang franchise area, Taiwan, demonstrates that when the price and number of channels are lowered in a range up to 74% of FR, both consumer surplus (CS) and supplier surplus (SS) increase by introducing the FR plus PCD package with social welfare (SW) gaining a higher percentage than SS.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are all types of communications in vehicles, between them and to infrastructure. ITS improve travelling experience through enhancements in safety, traffic efficiency and a wide range of entertainment services. This paper answers the question: how much does it cost to build and operate a dedicated Radio Access Network (RAN) for intelligent public transport? Investigated communication technologies are Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communications, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or 802.11p, 802.11n Wi-Fi and LTE. It is shown that the 802.11 standards feature the highest Capital and Operational Expenditures (CapEx and OpEx). In comparison with LTE, DSRC-based RAN causes 2.3 times higher upfront costs (CapEx) and 6.5 times higher annual operation costs (OpEx).

In this paper, we evaluate the cost of wireless integration into an architecture based on long reach passive optical networks (LR-PON). We will demonstrate that including backhaul or fronthaul signals from antenna sites into existing LR-PON structures deployed for wired customers requires only marginal additional resources. We will also show that scenarios with remote radio heads and centralised base band units outperform distributed radio access networks mainly because of operational cost savings.

In this paper, the cost of a new access network architecture suitable for backhauling is estimated and compared to that of Metro Ethernet and TWDM NGPON-2 architectures. Towards this direction several scenarios of area types, traffic and demand are investigated in terms of total costs and pure cost (excluding common costs). Network dimensioning is performed in order to evaluate the number of the required components in each of the architectures under investigation. Based on these data and cost estimations of network components, we calculate the overall cost and show that PANDA outperforms both Metro Ethernet and TWDM NGPON-2 architectures mainly due the higher use of resource sharing.

The dynamics of the telecommunication industry is constantly moving and changing industrial structure along with the increases years, technological developments and regulatory changes. Through SCP (Structure-Conduct-Performance) paradigm approach, this research is aimed to comprehensively analyze both quantitative and qualitative data of the structure and performance of telecommunication industry in Indonesia. This research also explains the correlation between them. The structure of the market would be viewed from the supply, demand, product variation, and barrier to entry, while the industrial performance was assessed using profitability, leverage, and efficiency ratios. The method used was mixed method research. The study was conducted in a period of 10 years starting from 2005 to 2014. The results showed that the market structure of the telecommunication industry in Indonesia is a tight oligopoly. The industrial performance reflected in the ROA shows the industrial efficiency level in utilizing assets to generate profit was decreasing from 2010 to 2014. Based on quantitative and qualitative test, there is consistency between the variable of structure and performance in the telecommunication industry from 2005 to 2014.

Techno-economic analysis is used to evaluate technological solutions in different business environments via a simulation based approach. Four steps can be observed in techno-economic analysis: scope definition, modeling of costs and revenues, evaluation of the different solutions and refinement of the analysis. During the scoping step, the boundaries of the analysis are determined, the problem is divided into sub problems and a list of input values is collected. The collection of complete and precise inputs is of the greatest importance as faulty data leads to unreliable results (garbage in garbage out). Today, due to the lack of a structured way of sharing input values, inputs need to be collected on a case-by-case basis. Although a valid approach, it remains a time intensive process prone to errors. This paper therefore proposes a modular network equipment database containing a set of generic equipment such as an IP/MPLS router, a DWDM node, a fiber link and a twisted pair cable. Each of these is represented as a modular block model and described by a set of attributes and a set of drivers which are used to chain one network equipment's block model to one or more others. A complex network can as such be modeled as a chain of equipment block models which are determined by a set of drivers. As a consequence, the collection of inputs can be fast tracked, the problem of missing inputs can be partially resolved and cross-case comparison becomes possible. To make things more concrete, we illustrate this approach via the evaluation of a network scenario in which a network service provider expands its network with an extra core location.

Based on an existing approach to techno-economic analysis of telecommunication networks, a calculation framework for cost allocation to services is proposed. In particular, the relation between network planning and cost calculation is revealed. This framework is then used to investigate the allocation of infrastructure costs to transport services for flex-grid optical networks. The impact of different off-line routing and spectrum allocation algorithms on the cost per service is evaluated. For large networks it is shown that flex-grid can be a cost-efficient technology for the provisioning of elastic transport services.

Although it is widely accepted that the future telecommunications access infrastructure relies heavily on Fiber-to- the-Home (FTTH), its deployment is compromised because it requires substantial investment. As such, if the decision to go ahead with the investment is made, the partners involved should make sure the deployment and operations are performed as efficiently and effectively as possible, to ensure both economic and social viability. A deployment is efficient if achieved at minimum expense and is effective if it reaches the outlined goals. This paper analyses the impact of policy decisions affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of New Zealand's public-private partnership in charge of building up a nationwide FTTH network: the Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) network. The paper concludes that in the context of such type of partnership a tradeoff exists between efficiency and effectiveness. Although both concepts are well suited for assessing the performance of large scale projects such as FTTH rollouts, they are not necessarily always aligned.

In this paper the cost for the deployment of a PON FTTH network is calculated in terms of NPV, IRR and payback period. A comparison is made between three PON technologies: GPON, XGPON and NG-PON2. Different scenarios regarding population density and bitrates are examined. It is shown that for high data rate scenarios in areas with high population density NG-PON2 can become a viable and future proof alternative to GPON and XGPON.
