Abstract

The entities providing value-added network (VAN) service make the implicit assumption that by leasing private lines from the telephone carriers, they can make more efficient use of the lines than can the telephone carriers. If this is proven true, the VAN's should have scale economies at network sizes much smaller than the telephone network, while achieving other desirable technical and economic properties. Why the VAN carriers think this assumption is true is explained.
