ANR Verso CAPTURES

Participant : Bruno Tuffin.

We coordinate the ANR Verso CAPTURES: Competition Among Providers for Telecommunication Users: Rivalry and Earning Stakes”, in the period Dec. 2008 – Nov. 2012, in cooperation with Telecom Bretagne and Orange Labs.

The goal of this project is to deal with competition among providers in telecommunications. We need to study the distribution of customers among providers as a first level of game, and then to focus on a second higher level, the price and QoS war. See http://captures.inria.fr/  for details.
