The Economics of Telecommunication Services

Focusing on the economics of telecommunication services, this textbook offers an engineering perspective that emphasizes the industry's fundamental drivers and network characteristics through graph theory. It explores the relationship between network topology and performance metrics, proposing a pricing model based on displaced opportunity costs. Additionally, it covers regulation, net neutrality, and the application of game theory in competitive markets. Aimed at senior undergraduates and graduate students, it bridges the gap between economic theory and telecommunications practice.
