The ambiguous economics of Net neutrality

2015-04-18
Three game theorists—H. Kenneth Cheng and Subhajyoti Bandyopadhyay of the University of Florida, and Hong Guo of the University of Notre Dame—developed a model of strategic interaction between the various players in the digital economy. One of their main conclusions was that, except for some specific cases, service providers have greater incentives to invest in network infrastructure when there is Net neutrality (mintne.ws/1GOB4Tv). Otherwise Internet service providers will have a stake in keeping networks gridlocked.

Vertical Integration and Zero-Rating Interplay: An Economic Analysis of Ad-Supported and Ad-Free Digital Content
Journal of Management Information SystemsSoohyun Cho, et al.
2020-12-01
We discuss the economic impacts of the interplay between vertical integration and zero-rating for digital content. To this end, we develop a game-theoretic model that involves an Internet Service Provider (ISP), two competing content providers (CPs)—one an ad-supported CP, the other ad-free—and consumers. While previous studies have separately examined vertical integration and zero-rated content, none to our knowledge has explored the simultaneous interaction of both phenomena.

Sponsored Data: Smarter Data Pricing with Incomplete Information

As the amount of online content explodes, mobile network operators (MNOs) are investigating new business models that encourage content providers (CPs) to sponsor data for consumers. We analyze this recent phenomenon using an incomplete information game-theoretical model, where the MNO does not observe consumers’ types (personal valuation of mobile data), and provides multiple data plans to consumers.
Role of Digital Divide in Optimal Zero-Rating Policy

Several Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Content Providers (CPs) have proposed zero-rating plans whereby consumers get access to certain websites without paying for it. While consumer and open-access advocates have decried these plans, arguing that they are anti-competitive and violate the principles of net neutrality, ISPs and CPs have argued that such initiatives enable segments of the world population - especially those in developing economies - to finally join the rest of the world in accessing the Internet.
Optimal Pricing Model of Digital Music: Subscription, Ownership or Mixed?

Traditionally, consumers purchase physical music (often in the form of CDs or cassettes) from local retailers. With the development of Internet technology, the market share of digital music has grown rapidly in recent years. Unlike physical music, digital music is provided by several emerging digital music providers through the Internet to consumers. Pricing models of digital music are also drastically different from those of physical music.
