Abstract
⺠We analyze the effects of reducing termination charge below cost on penetration. ⺠It softens competition but helps to internalize network externality. ⺠If the first effect dominates, above cost termination charges promote penetration. ⺠This happens when the market is mature or wireless networks are weak substitutes. ⺠A retail benchmarking approach promotes penetration without distorting call volume.
