“…Vogelsang [33] surveyed fixed-mobile substitution studies. He noticed three main methods used to conduct the studies: 1) diffusion models, 2) subscription cross-elasticities in a single country or multiple countries, and 3) cross-elasticities for fixed-line call demand.…”

We compare Web traffic characteristics of mobile-versus fixed-access end-hosts, where herein the term "mobile" refers to access via cell towers, using for example the 3G/UMTS standard, and the term "fixed" includes Wi-Fi access.It is well-known that connection speeds are in general slower over mobile-access networks, and also that often there is higher packet loss. We were curious whether this leads mobile-access users to have smaller connections.We examined the distribution of the number of bytesper-connection, and packet loss from a sampling of logs from servers of Akamai Technologies. We obtained 149 million connections, across 57 countries. The mean bytes-per-connection was typically larger for fixed-access: for two-thirds of the countries, it was at least onethird larger. Regarding distributions, we found that the difference between the bytes-per-connection for mobileversus fixed-access, as well as the packet loss, was statistically significant for each of the countries; however the visual difference in plots is typically small. For some countries, mobile-access had the larger connections. As expected, mobile-access often had higher loss than fixed-access, but the reverse pertained for some countries. Typically packet loss increased during the busy period of the day, when mobile-access had a larger increase. Comparing our results from 2010 to those from 2009 of the same time period, we found that connections have become a bit smaller.

“…The competition between fixed and mobile for voice services has been studied in at least six papers [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Econometric analysis provides some evidence of fixed to mobile substitution effects for voice service at the country level [9], [12], [13].…”

“…Econometric analysis provides some evidence of fixed to mobile substitution effects for voice service at the country level [9], [12], [13]. The work of M.Rodini et al (2003) [9] proves that the extent of fixed-mobile substitution has important regulatory implications toward fixed network unbundling, fixed-mobile vertical separation, and universal service. The work of Wolfgang Briglauer, Anton Schwarz and Christine Zulehner concludes that the retail market for national calls of private users could probably be deregulated due to sufficient competitive pressure generated by mobile sector on the Austrian market [6].…”

Often, …xed-line incumbents also own the largest mobile network. We consider the e¤ect of this joint ownership on market outcomes. Our model predicts that while …xed-to-mobile call prices to the integrated mobile network are more e¢ -cient than under separation, those to rival mobile networks are distorted upwards, amplifying any incumbency advantage. As concerns potential remedies, a uniform o¤-net pricing constraint leads to higher welfare than functional separation and even allows to maintain some of the e¢ ciency gains.
