Query: Network Investment Game with Wardrop Followers   We study a two-sided network investment game consisting of two sets of
players, called providers and users. The game is set in two stages. In the
first stage, providers aim to maximize their profit by investing in bandwidth
of cloud computing services. The investments of the providers yield a set of
usable services for the users. In the second stage, each user wants to process
a task and therefore selects a bundle of services so as to minimize the total
processing time. We assume the total processing time to be separable over the
chosen services and the processing time of each service to depend on the
utilization of the service and the installed bandwidth. We provide insights on
how competition between providers affects the total costs of the users and show
that every game on a series-parallel graph can be reduced to an equivalent
single edge game when analyzing the set of subgame perfect Nash equilibria.
