| Abstract: | We compare four approaches to network neutrality and network management
regulation in a two-sided market model: (i) no variations in Quality of
Service and no price discrimination; (ii) variations in Quality of
Service but no price discrimination; (iii) variations in Quality of
Service and price discrimination but no exclusive contracts; and (iv) no
regulation: the network operator can sell exclusive rights to content
providers. We compare the equilibrium outcomes explicitly accounting for
dynamic incentives to invest in improving the Quality of Service offered
to each content provider. We provide a ranking Quality of Service and
network operator profits across regimes. |
