Comments in response to Wikipedia: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)
