Main Trends in Pricing
Prices for communications across the OECD area have continued to fall and users commonly receive better services for prices lower than they paid just two years earlier. The chapter looks at telecommunication pricing trends in the OECD area. It highlights the growth of flat-rate communication plans for both voice and data services. It also uses the OECD telecommunication price comparison methodology to provides comparative data on the different baskets of communication services across the OECD area for fixed and mobile telephony for both residences and business subscribers. A section devoted to broadband pricing examines total subscription costs as well as prices per Mbit/s for all 30 OECD member countries. Finally, the chapter looks at the development of bundled services and pricing for leased lines.
