Network competition: I. Overview and nondiscriminatory pricing

Article Abstract:

The inability to form a competitive equilibrium in a model of unregulated competition between interconnected networks results from large access charges. Large access charges and large network subsitutability was also shown to act as a barrier for effective competition since each network is shown to have an incentive to undercut to increase market share and avoid paying access charges.
