| Abstract: | We analyze how termination charges affect retail prices when taking into
account that receivers derive some utility from a call and when firms
may charge consumers for receiving calls. A novel feature of our paper
is that we consider passive self-ful filling expectations and do not
allow for negative reception charges. We recon rm the finding of pro t
neutrality when firms cannot use termination-based price discrimination
and show that connectivity is prone to breakdown. |
