The Economics of the Hiring of Private Wires in Great Britain—A Simulation Study

Abstract

The economics of hiring private telephone wires is considered in terms of the required grade of service, and the cost of the alternative public service. A maximum waiting time limitation is imposed and a simulation to determine the relationship between traffic offered to the private wire system and that accepted, is described.
