Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the supply chain coordination and contracting issue for competitive dual sales channels of the mobile phone industry in which a telecom service operator (operator) cooperates and competes with a handset manufacturer (manufacturer) to deliver the complementary telecom service and handset to end consumers. After deriving the equilibrium strategy based on the game theoretical paradigm, we present the sensitivity and comparative analysis as well as the coordination analysis. Among others, our result shows that the widely used subsidy‐only contract fails to coordinate this dual sales system. To solve the coordination failure, we propose a two‐way revenue sharing contract that can be well utilized to realize the first best outcome, and even guarantee the win–win situation, in particular under the situation when the telecom service price is sufficiently high.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
