Abstract

This paper defines ``economies of scale'' and its measure, together with related cost concepts, including first, annual, equated, and long-range incremental costs. New partial first cost functions are suggested for subscriber loops, switching, transmission, and multiplex systems, and how these may be fitted together to acquire perspective at the system level is discussed.
