L’aqueduc de Fontanières : un cinquième aqueduc romain à Lyon ? by Jean-Yves Barbier

“…Facing east, this steep slope is known as the Balme de Fontanières and, thanks to the complex history of its geological formation, it offers abundant water resources, as evidenced by the resurgences and catchments from various periods in the vicinity of the eponymous road.The Romans could neither have ignored nor neglected the availability of these nearby resources, especially as to the north and west of the town, they had been forced to develop the remarkable network of four aqueducts spanning over 200 km long –including those of the Gier, Mont d’Or, Yzeron and Brévenne rivers– which captured the attention of renowned researchers such as G. …”

EFECTOS DE LA REDUCCIÓN DE TARIFAS DE TERMINACIÓN MÓVIL EN EL BIENESTAR EN EL MERCADO DE LAS TELECOMUNICACIONES DE MÉXICO by David Harbord, Steffen Hoernig

“…Nuestras simulaciones muestran que la reducción de las tarifas de terminación celular para las llamadas tanto de celular a celular como de fijo a celular, ya sean a costo incremental de largo plazo; tarifas recíprocas de terminación en redes fijas, o al sistema bill-and-keep puede aumentar el bienestar social por más de mil millones de dólares por año en ausencia de externalidades de llamada, y por más de 2.25 mil millones de dólares por año cuando las externalidades de llamada son fuertes. Nuestro análisis ofrece apoyo a un cambio desde el sistema de fijación de precios basado en costos comple-tamente asignados (o completamente distribuidos), como se practica actualmente en México, hacia tarifas de terminación celular mucho más bajas, con el sistema bill-and-keep, que con frecuencia conducirá al mayor incremento en el bienestar. …”
