About a dilemma in the telecommunications sector: Virtual operators or low-cost operators?
Abstract
Also, the “buy and close down” which is profitable is a criterium for products which are not enough differentiated. A few examples are given.
The aims of the paper are two:
- To study how works a price war in telecommunications.
- More generally, the possibility of profitable “buy and close down” allows to propose a criterium for saturated markets. Even, the criterium could be used to build software (to test if a market is saturated or not). The rival models which are presented in the literature are commented
