Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book provides a systematic and rigorous analysis of economic theory and real‑world practice of pricing in telecommunications. The authors review normative pricing theory — with goals such as social welfare, economic efficiency, and fairness — and apply this framework to the structure of tariffs, cost models and rate plans used in the U.S. telecommunications industry. Through a detailed examination of telephone rate structures, optional calling plans, bulk‑rate tariffs, carrier‑service pricing and social tariffs, the book shows how theory and regulation intersect with market pricing practices, offering valuable insights for policymakers, economists and industry analysts.
