Several Brattle consultants coauthored an article published in the Journal of Information Policy investigating the impact of spectrum concentration on the quality of wireless services.

The authors develop a theoretical model of wireless service competition, explaining how spectrum endowments affect the quality of service offered to consumers. The article’s findings suggest that, while spectrum concentration can enhance efficiency, it also reduces service providers’ incentives to compete. These findings and insights inform the ongoing policy debate on the optimal level of spectrum concentration to balance service quality and market competition.

The full article, “The Theoretical and Empirical Relationship Between Spectrum Concentration and Downstream Service Quality,” is available below.
