This Dagstuhl Seminar on "Telecommunication Economics" was organized to discuss and develop partially a strategic research outline among key people in order to enhance the competence in the field of telecommunication economics and respective network management tasks for integrated Internet and telecommunication networks. The view on respective guidelines and recommendations to relevant players (end-users, enterprises, operators, regulators, policy makers, and content providers), focusing on the provision of new converged wireless services and content delivery networks to people and enterprises determined an aspect of relevance.

The "computer networking" community's main field of study covers the technical aspects of computer networks. This means, to a great extent, the definition and analysis of communication protocols from a security, flexibility, implementation cost, or performance evaluation point of view. Hence the study of economic relationships, and incentives, is not the specialty of this community, despite the appearance of conferences, special issues and journals devoted to economic problems among the networking community. This raises several important questions, highlighted in the next subsections.

For about two decades, the technological evolutions in the networking and computer science domains have drastically reshaped the usages of information technologies, but also the power ratios among the different actors involved. New participants enter the market, to provide (direct or indirect) services to users: access providers, content providers, transit networks, content delivery network, all contribute to the supply chain. Nevertheless, because of the rapidity of the changes, the economical equilibria are likely to become less and less stable, as illustrated by the trend in the latest years, of content providers getting more and more revenue (and power) at the expense of connexion providers (access providers, but especially transit providers). In that context, the strategic decisions of actors, and the choice of rules that regulators may enforce, are delicate to make. My research work has for aim to understand, and if possible, to anticipate the consequences of the appearance of...

Auctions have emerged as the primary means of assigning spectrum licenses to companies wishing to provide wireless communication services. Since July 1994, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has conducted 33 spectrum auctions, assigning thousands of licenses to hundreds of firms. Countries throughout the world are conducting similar auctions. I review the current state of spectrum auctions. Both the design and performance of these auctions are addressed.

The Economics of Telecommunication Services
Textbooks in telecommunication engineering, 2020
Telecommunications have evolved to embrace almost all aspects of our everyday life, including education, research, health care, business, banking, entertainment, space, remote sensing, meteorology, defense, homeland security, and social media, among others. With such progress in Telecom, it became evident that specialized telecommunication engineering education programs are necessary to accelerate the pace of advancement in this field. These programs will focus on network science and engineering; have curricula, labs, and textbooks of their own; and should prepare future engineers and researchers for several emerging challenges. The IEEE Communications Society's Telecommunication Engineering Education (TEE) movement, led by Tarek S. El-Bawab, resulted in recognition of this field by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), November 1, 2014. The Springer's Series Textbooks in Telecommunication Engineering capitalizes on this milestone, and aims at designing, developing, and promoting high-quality textbooks to fulfill the teaching and research needs of this discipline, and those of related university curricula. The goal is to do so at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and globally. The new series will supplement today's literature with modern and innovative telecommunication engineering textbooks and will make inroads in areas of network science and engineering where textbooks have been largely missing. The series aims at producing high-quality volumes featuring interactive content; innovative presentation media; classroom materials for students and professors; and dedicated websites. Book proposals are solicited in all topics of telecommunication engineering including, but not limited to: network architecture and protocols; traffic engineering; telecommunication signaling and control; network availability, reliability, protection, and restoration; network management; network security; network design, measurements, and modeling; broadband access; MSO/cable networks; VoIP and IPTV; transmission media and systems; switching and routing (from legacy to next-generation paradigms); telecommunication software; wireless communication systems; wireless, cellular and personal networks; satellite and space communications and networks; optical communications and networks; free-space optical communications; cognitive communications and networks; green communications and networks; heterogeneous networks; dynamic networks; storage networks; ad hoc and sensor networks; social networks; software defined networks; interactive and multimedia communications and networks; network applications and services; e-health; e-business; big data; Internet of things; telecom economics and business; telecom regulation and standardization; and telecommunication labs of all kinds. Proposals of interest should suggest textbooks that can be used to design university courses, either in full or in part. They should focus on recent advances in the field while capturing legacy principles that are necessary for students to understand the bases of the discipline and appreciate its evolution trends. Books in this series will provide high-quality illustrations, examples, problems and case studies.
The economic perspective of the mobile networks in Europe
Over the next years, about 70 licenses for UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) spectrum will be distributed in Europe, either through auctions or comparative hearings. Now, more than ever, mobile operators are making critical decisions, which will shape their business over the next ten years. The main challenge is to maximize investment efficiency to provide next-generation, mobile data services, at announced speeds of up to 2 Mbps. Such systems, generally referred to as IMT-2000 or UMTS, are expected to emerge in 2001 in Japan and in Europe, hence the intense preparations in progress at the manufacturing, regulatory, and operator levels.
