Competition among providers has become an important issue in current and future wireless telecommunication networks. The providers may operate using different technologies, such as WiFi, WiMAX, UMTS... In a previous work, we have analyzed the price competition among two providers, one operating in only a subdomain of the other, due to smaller distance range. A typical situation is WiFi against WiMAX. We propose here to add a supplementary level of decision on top of that game, making use of its equilibrium: the smaller-range provider plays with its transmission power in order to attract more customers and potentially increase its revenue. We determine the optimal power in the case where energy has a negligible cost, as well as when its cost is linear in transmission power.
