• Competition and compatibility among Internet service providers 

      Foros, Øystein; Hansen, Bjørn (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-03)
      We consider a two-stage game between two competing Internet service providers(ISPs). The firms offer access to the Internet. Access is assumed to be vertically and horizontally differentiated. Our model exhibits network ...

      Foros, Øystein; Hansen, Bjørn; Sand, Jan Yngve (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-12)
      We analyze roaming policy in the market for mobile telecommunications. Firms undertake investments in network infrastructure to increase geographical coverage, capacity in a given area, or functionality. Prior to ...
    • Empirical evidence on the relationship between mobile termination rates and firms' profit 

      Andersson, Kjetil; Foros, Øystein; Hansen, Bjørn (Discussion paper;2012:10, Working paper, 2012-08)
      The comprehensive theoretical literature on mobile termination rates (MTRs) is inconclusive on how the level of MTRs affects overall consumer charges and firms’ profit. In a theoretical model, well suited for econometric ...

    • Network competition : empirical evidence on mobile termination rates and profitability 

      Andersson, Kjetil; Hansen, Bjørn (Working paper, Working paper, 2009-04)
      We analyze a model of multi firm competition between mobile network operators. The model assumes inelastic usage demand and full penetration, and allows for asymmetric termination rates, differences in marginal costs and ...
