Describe the three categories of the major pricing decisions made by carriers


First, a decision must be made when setting prices on a new service. This is a difficult decision because it is based on little knowledge regarding market elasticity to prices, and the actual cost of providing the service. Second is the decision to modify prices over time. Market changes, operating changes, and service changes may require price changes. Of concern is how and when to announce the price changes. Third are the decisions to initiate and respond to price changes. How this decision is made has a substantial impact on market share and profits.
