Concerning condition ( z ( {underset{raise0.3emhbox{$smash{scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{theta } } ) = 0 ) in (9), it stems from (10) and the fact that, at an "extensive" margin ( tilde{theta } ( { ge underset{raise0.3emhbox{$smash{scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{theta } } ), ) it is always optimal for the monopolist to make the marginal consumer indifferent between buying and not buying.
Let us define (x_{1}) as the marginal consumer who is indifferent between watching/listening to platform 1 or platform 2. Thus, (x_{1}) is provided by the following condition: begin{aligned} v_{1}-delta a_{1}-tx_{1}=v_{2}-delta a_{2}-t 1-x_{1}).
