The authors gratefully acknowledge the help of the officers of the Commission, particularly that of S. Gassert, for their substantial financial support and their assistance in model construction and specification. We also thank P. Theaker, who has taken over the day-to-day operation of the model at the Institute, and Cosima McPhee, who edited the manuscript. The authors would also like to thank a referee, Dr. R. Marks, for many helpful comments. The model is being subjected to evaluation by the Commission and assumptions and conclusions associated with the illustrative examples are those of the authors.)

Abstract

Amongst corporations in the United States there is widespread interest in corporate model building, or the development of equation structures which quantify and integrate all facets of corporate activity. This is not yet so in Australia, and in order to stimulate activity in this area and to contribute to research into the structure of the Australian telecommunications sector, this paper describes the detailed specification for such a model of the Australian Telecommunications Commission's activities. Equations are developed for the demand for telecommunications services, resource requirements (capital, labour and material), costs, revenue and prices.
