Evidence of domination
Both the Competition Commission and Icasa found, in their inquiries, that Vodacom and MTN are dominant
across the supply chain. Their dominance is even more entrenched by the spectrum-sharing deals that they have
entered into with Cell C, Liquid Intelligent Technologies and Rain. Cell C is wholly reliant on MTN and Vodacom
to provide mobile services, and Liquid and Rain are disincentivised from competing aggressively in the mobile
market due to the lucrative deals they have struck to provide capacity to either Vodacom or MTN, or both. This
has limited their ability to compete independently – leaving Telkom as the only entity in the position to be able to
challenge the “cosy” market structure head-on.
The economic argument being expressed in this extract is that of __________ and has the consequence of
______________.
a) Market failure, externalities.
b) Government failure, public goods being under-produced.
c) Market failure, inefficient allocation of resources.
d) Government failure, production possibilities.

- There are two firms A and B. Firms compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities qA and qB. Inverse demand isP(qA +qB) = 18−qA −qB and costs are C(q) = 3∗q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm (in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages in a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s ∗ qB from the government.) We begin by examining the model with an unspecified s ≥ 0. A)Find profit functions for both firms. B)Use first order conditions to find each firm’s best response function.The figure below shows the market conditions facing two firms, Brooks, Inc., and Spring, Inc., in the domestic market for large utility pumps. Each firm has constant long-run costs, so that MC0 = AC0. As competitors in a duopoly, there are a number of models to determine output and prices. Assume that the Bertrand duopoly model applies, so that they both set price equal to their marginal cost. Initial output in this market will be 16,000 per year (this is split between the two firms), at a price of $300. (a) At the initial equilibrium, what is total surplus (consumer surplus plus producer surplus)? Suppose that Brooks, Inc. and Spring, Inc. form a joint venture, River Company, whose utility pumps replace the output sold by the parent companies in the domestic market. Assuming that River Company operates as a monopolist and that its costs equal MC0 = AC0, what is: (b) The price? (c) The output? (d) Total profit? (e) The resulting deadweight loss from River Company operating as a…The figure below shows the market conditions facing two firms, Brooks, Inc., and Spring, Inc., in the domestic market for large utility pumps.
