| Abstract: | The authors analyze a model of imperfect price competition between intermediation service providers. They insist on features that are relevant for informational intermediation via the Internet: the presence of indirect network externalities, the possibility of using the nonexclusive services of several intermediaries, and the widespread practice of price discrimination besed on users' identity and on usage. |
