The Situation:Patrick Zuliani is the founder and CEO of Zuliani Telecom, a publicly traded cell phone service provider that isabout to start offering service in remote areas across Canada (see grey area in figure 1) following the approval ofwwwtheir application to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The CRTC waswilling to fast-track the approval for Zuliani Telecom to enter these markets as there is often only one providerof wireless mobile in these areas and rural Candians have been complaining about high prices and poorcustomer service. The CRTC has not yet granted them access to any of the densely populated urban areas ofCanada (see yellow area figure 1).Canada's current mobile wireless industry can best be described as an oligopoly where Rogers, Telus, and Bellhave over a 90% market share. This means that the market can be potentially very lucrative if Zuliani telecomcan strategically secure a foothold in the rural market and create a strong business case to present to the CRTCso that they gain access to the urban market.The shareholders and the board of directors for Zuliani Telecom are getting very impatient with the currentshare price of the company and the large capital investments that have been made to enter the Canadianwireless mobile market. The pressure is on Mr. Zuliani to present a strategic plan that will impress the board andshow the company's long-term profit outlook justifies the recent investments.Mr. Zuliani's friend, Nathan Price, has recommended you based on your outstanding work helping NorthernCottage Living. Therefore, Zuliani Telecom has made you a lucrative offer to consult them during this importanttime.Pricing Strategy and Profit Prediction:Zuliani Telecom will only be offering a single monthly plan (unlimited talk, text, and data) and is still unsure ofwhat price they will end up offering for this wireless mobile service. Since Zuliani will essentially only becompeting with one existing company in most rural markets there will be an expected transition from theexisting monopolies to Cournot duopolies since:

The Cournot duopoly model is an example of an oligopoly market model where two firms are assumed to…
