Telecommunication Economics

This book constitutes a collaborative and selected documentation of the scientific outcome of the European COST Action IS0605 Econ@Tel "A Telecommunications Economics COST Network" which run from October 2007 to October 2011. Involving experts from around 20 European countries, the goal of Econ@Tel was to develop a strategic research and training network among key people and organizations in order to enhance Europe's competence in the field of telecommunications economics. Reflecting the organization of the COST Action IS0605 Econ@Tel in working groups the following four major research areas are addressed: - evolution and regulation of communication ecosystems; - social and policy implications of communication technologies; - economics and governance of future networks; - future networks management architectures and mechanisms

QoE Awareness for the Mobile Termination Rates Monopoly Liberation

Charging for Quality-of-Experience (QoE) is the key to overcome the monopoly of the Mobile Termination Rates (MTR) market. An Axiomatic QoE model (AQX), which considers simultaneously technical and non-technical parameters, is proposed to estimate end-user’s QoE. AQX is used as a bidding metric in the Auction-based Charging User-centric System (AbaCUS). AbaCUS defines the Mobile (Virtual) Network Operator (MvNO) maximizing end-user’s QoE. An automatic and on-demand MvNO selection mechanism is then used to register end-users mobile devices in the desired MvNO. This mechanism has been implemented and evaluated in terms of its time and energy efficiency
