Query: The Case for Formation of ISP-Content Providers Consortiums by Nash
  Bargaining for Internet Content Delivery   The formation of consortiums of a broadband access Internet Service Provider
(ISP) and multiple Content Providers (CP) is considered for large-scale content
caching. The consortium members share costs from operations and investments in
the supporting infrastructure. Correspondingly, the model's cost function
includes marginal and fixed costs; the latter has been important in determining
industry structure. Also, if Net Neutrality regulations permit, additional
network capacity on the ISP's last mile may be contracted by the CPs. The
number of subscribers is determined by a combination of users' price elasticity
of demand and Quality of Experience. The profit generated by a coalition after
pricing and design optimization determines the game's characteristic function.
Coalition formation is by a bargaining procedure due to Okada (1996) based on
random proposers in a non-cooperative, multi-player game-theoretic framework. A
necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the Grand Coalition to form,
which bounds subsidies from large to small contributors. Caching is generally
supported even under Net Neutrality regulations. The Grand Coalition's profit
matches upper bounds. Numerical results illustrate the analytic results.
