We introduce a simulation-based approach to the problem that mobile users may face in a multi-provider environment when seeking to satisfy their demand for bandwidth; if they are allowed to satisfy their individual demands by aggregating shares from two or more providers the problem becomes one of resource allocation in a competitive market. We use the Progressive Second-Price auction at each provider, exploring the properties of three bidding strategies. Simulations aim at learning whether the auction converges at each seller when bidders, either make coordinated or non-coordinated decisions among auctions, or complement already secured shares by bidding at other auctions. Aggregate measures of welfare and sellers’ revenue are obtained for each simulation run.
