The International Handbook of Telecommunications Economics, Volume II

Edited by the late Gary Madden, formerly Professor of Economics and Director, Communication Economics and Electronic Markets Research Centre, Curtin University, Australia

This major reference work provides a thorough and up-to-date survey and analysis of recent developments in the economics of telecommunications. The Handbook serves both as a source of reference and technical supplement for the field of telecommunications economics.

的范围of this Handbook is simply awesome. Every technology (wireline, wireless, satellite, cable . . .), every service (internet, e-commerce, telephony, video . . .), every regulation (FCC, universal service, international settlements . . .), and both management and economic issues (development, pricing, demand, costs, innovation . . .), all written by the leading lights in this field. Every telecommunications scholar and executive should keep a copy within easy reach; it is indispensable.’
