The authors bring out the fundamental drivers of the industry and characterize networks from a graph theoretic perspective, including random, small world, and scale free networks. The authors relate the topology of a telecommunication network using circuit and packet switched architectures to throughput and other performance parameters. The pricing model proposed in this book is based on the cost of displaced opportunity as opposed to the cost of the elements of the network engaged in delivering a service. The displaced opportunity is characterized by the revenue associated with the service that the network could have alternatively delivered most efficiently using an identical level of resources. The book addresses other topics such as regulation in legacy networks, and net neutrality. Finally, the book introduces the application of game theory in a multi-vendor, multi-services competitive marketplace. The book aims to bridge the gap between the science of economics as practiced by economists and practice of pricing from a telecommunication engineer?s perspective. This book is suitable for use by senior undergraduate or graduate students of telecommunication engineering or researchers and practitioners in telecommunication engineering. Addresses the void that exists in understanding the economics of telecommunication networking from a technology perspective; Addresses the technological underpinnings of a competitive and fast evolving multi-service and multi-vendor environment; Includes illustrative examples and problems for each chapter, a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides. 410 0$aTextbooks in Telecommunication Engineering,$x2524-4345 606 $aElectrical engineering 606 $aTelecommunication systems$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEngineering economy 615 0$aElectrical engineering. 615 0$aTelecommunication systems$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEngineering economy. 676 $a621.382 700 $aVerma$b Pramode K.$0973655 702 $aZhang$b Fan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468249803321 996 $aThe economics of telecommunication services$92810125 997 $aUNINA
