dc.description.abstract
Several European telecommunications regulatory agencies have recently introduced a fixed capacity charge (flat rate) to regulate access to the incumbent's network. The purpose of this paper is to show that the optimal capacity charge and the optimal access-minute charge analysed by Armstrong, Doyle, and Vickers (1996) have a similar structure and imply the same payment for the entrant. I extend the analysis to the case where there is a competitor with market power. In this case, the optimal capacity charge should be modified to avoid that the entrant cream-skims the market, fixing a longer or a shorter peak period than the optimal. Finally, I consider a multiproduct setting, where the effect of the product differentiation is exacerbated.
dc.description.abstract
Diversas agencias europeas de telecomunicaciones han introducido un precio(una carga) de capacidad fija (la tasa de interés fijo) para regular el acceso a la red. El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar que el precio de capacidad óptimo y el precio de minuto de acceso óptimo analizado por Armstrong, Doyle, y Vickers (1996) tienen una estructura similar e implican el mismo pago para el principiante. Si se extiende el análisis al caso donde hay un competidor con un poder de mercado, el precio de capacidad óptimo debería ser modificado para evitar que el desmonte el mercado, fijando un período más largo o un período más corto máximo que el óptimo.
