Abstract(in English) Abstract In recent years, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO), which provide services by renting network resources from Mobile Network Operators (MNO), have grown rapidly. MVNOs provide agile pricing plans for light users, and the unfairness of charges on light users is therefore reduced. If this trend continues in the future, users who prefer low price will change to subscribe to MVNOs which offer relatively lower prices compared with MNOs. As a result, although MNOs charge MVNOs for using their resources, the revenue of MNOs may decrease as MVNOs take users of MNOs. As the share of MVNO increases, the utilization of MNOs’ network resources decreases. In this paper, we assume that MVNOs introduce an upper class service to their subscribers in order to efficiently utilize MNO’s remaining resources and to increase the revenue. Furthermore, we evaluate the effect of adding this service on the revenue of MNO and that of MVNO.
