The passage around this formula

Reading $p^{\text{in}}_i$ and $p^{\text{out}}_i$ off a rate card and comparing them directly across vendors is equivalent to assuming $\kappa_i$ , $\gamma_i$ , and $\rho_i$ are all equal to each other and to 1 across every vendor in the comparison. This article has just shown that one of those three, $\gamma_i$ , genuinely does converge close to 0.1 across all three companies’ published cards — the one term a naive comparison happens to…
