Talk:Telecommunications tariff

[Untitled]
Comments in response to Deletion policy/Teletraffic Engineering. I think that this is too much directed towards the technical side of Tariffing and too little towards the marketing and social side. It may also be seen as a little naïve. Aspects which should be covered include


 * mobile phone subsidies
 * loss leaders
 * non call charges
 * supplementary services
 * SMSs
 * roaming charges in mobile networks
 * imperfect information => ineffective competition
 * the influence of regulation
 * tarriff complexity
 * differentiation (business vs. consumer)

For example, I understand that actually call charges on some mobile networks are actually run at a loss whilst other charges make reasonably large profits.

I don't yet see any other page which this directly duplicates, so it probably represents a useful contribution Mozzerati 17:31, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)
