Competition to international satellite communications services

Article Abstract:

The fast expansion of private satellite communications companies with inter-regional and international coverage and the establishment of transoceanic fiber optic cables have radically changed the global telecommunications market. Intelsat's market is expected to shrink further because of factors such as continued entry, presubscription of planned facilities, unused capacity on partly-presubscribed facilities, the joining of geographic and service markets, and sophisticated clients.

Optimal pricing of telephone usage: an econometric implementation

Article Abstract:

An ideal pricing regulation for telephone usage can now be practiced to replace current pricing policies such as price caps. Based on scientific estimations, income and valuation are the two parameters to be considered when formulating a pricing policy for telephone usage. Consumers are charged accordingly for their telephone use but those with low marginal utility income should be charged less or at least given a discount.

A bargaining model of retransmission consent and must-carry rule

Article Abstract:

A bargaining model was utilized to assess the impact of retransmission consent and must-carry rule in the US' Cable Act of 1992. The model specifically analyzes the result of negotiations between cable system operators and broadcasters. The model predicted that the retransmission-consent option is more likely to be chosen by broadcasters who get higher additional benefits from the carriage of their signals on cable systems.
