    Triple play as a separate market? Empirical findings and consequences to broadband market definition

    Double and triple play bundled offers are common phenomena in many national communication markets. However the overall market context, technological background of provision, the level of facility based platform competition and strategic role of the bundled offers seems to be different in national markets. There is clear challenge to the current European regulatory approach to broadband markets, which is treated as a separate market on its own. If there was a separate market for the bundled product, the whole market analysis and remedy system had to be adapted to this market reality. Testing the (triple play) bundle the market hypothesis is the logical and necessary first step to address this issue. We designed and conducted an empirical study supported by the Hungarian Competition Authority in order to address these questions. A special, situation adaptive questionnaire design was applied in order to get the possibly best informed and adequate stated preference reactions to a 10% price change. We used the cri ical loss test for market definition, testing whether there is a separate market for triple play bundles. Results indicates that the market definition question whether bundle has to or could be considered as a separate relevant market can be answered using well designed survey techniques. Many clues support the hypothesis that the triple play bundle in 2010 indeed was a separate relevant market. --triple play,double play,multi-play,bundle,market definition,SSNIP test,consumer survey,stated preference approach,critical loss

    New notions on ideal convergence of triple sequences in neutrosophic normed spaces

    Get PDF
    The usual convergence of sequences has many generalizations with the aim of providing deeper insights into the summability theory. In this paper, following a very recent and new approach, we introduce the notion of I3 and I*3−convergence of triple sequences in neutrosophic normed spaces mainly as a generalization of statistical convergence of triple sequences. We investigate a few fundamental properties and study the relationship between the two notions. We also introduce and investigate the concept of I3 and I*3−Cauchy sequence of triple sequences and show that the condition (AP3) plays a crucial role to study the interrelationship between them.Publisher's Versio

    A Transformation-based Implementation for CLP with Qualification and Proximity

    Get PDF
    Uncertainty in logic programming has been widely investigated in the last decades, leading to multiple extensions of the classical LP paradigm. However, few of these are designed as extensions of the well-established and powerful CLP scheme for Constraint Logic Programming. In a previous work we have proposed the SQCLP (proximity-based qualified constraint logic programming) scheme as a quite expressive extension of CLP with support for qualification values and proximity relations as generalizations of uncertainty values and similarity relations, respectively. In this paper we provide a transformation technique for transforming SQCLP programs and goals into semantically equivalent CLP programs and goals, and a practical Prolog-based implementation of some particularly useful instances of the SQCLP scheme. We also illustrate, by showing some simple-and working-examples, how the prototype can be effectively used as a tool for solving problems where qualification values and proximity relations play a key role. Intended use of SQCLP includes flexible information retrieval applications.Comment: 49 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, preliminary version of an article of the same title, published as Technical Report SIC-4-10, Universidad Complutense, Departamento de Sistemas Inform\'aticos y Computaci\'on, Madrid, Spai
