Providing affordable wireless broadband access is one of the key challenges for the telecommunication industry. Since no new single radio technology can solve all wireless access needs in a cost efficient way, sharing and reusing multiple (new and legacy) wireless systems has been identified as the key to achieving low end-user cost. Large cost benefits are at stake when considering wideband wireless systems. In the project cooperative and competitive sharing regimes are compared with the objective to to establish if and how ´win-win´ scenarios can be achieved, where sharing benefits can be equitably shared between users and providers. In particular the project will quantify the effects of novel concepts including Competitive network deployment, Access advertising and Demand responsive pricing. The studies will be based on game-theory and mathematical biology and disseminated in scientific publications and public workshops /conferences.
