About article:
The paper applies concepts of population dynamics on evolution of communi-cation technologies. The Lotka-Volterra equations are applied to examine dy-namics of communication technologies in Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 1948 – 2006. Fixed lines and mobile phones are considered predatory technolo-gies hunting for their ‘prey’ – voice service subscribers. Cohabitation of two technologies is modelled within faramework of full competition. Each technology squeezes out carrying capacity of its competitor. The mobile phones, however, exert considerable larger impact on the number of fixed telephone lines than vice versa. The paper also considers some limitations of population dynamics approaches in economic modelling and discusses different growth strategies by particular types of technologies.
