Article Abstract:
An ideal pricing regulation for telephone usage can now be practiced to replace current pricing policies such as price caps. Based on scientific estimations, income and valuation are the two parameters to be considered when formulating a pricing policy for telephone usage. Consumers are charged accordingly for their telephone use but those with low marginal utility income should be charged less or at least given a discount.

Article Abstract:
A bargaining model was utilized to assess the impact of retransmission consent and must-carry rule in the US' Cable Act of 1992. The model specifically analyzes the result of negotiations between cable system operators and broadcasters. The model predicted that the retransmission-consent option is more likely to be chosen by broadcasters who get higher additional benefits from the carriage of their signals on cable systems.
