Pricing Internet Service

Abstract

Internet service needs to be appropriately priced, because Internet Service Providers want to remain competitive, and because pricing is increasingly seen by engineers as an essential tool for controlling network congestion. Thus, the pricing of Internet service lies at the interface of marketing and engineering. From this perspective we present a review of the major proposals for pricing Internet service. Topics include: Smart Market, Paris Metro Pricing, Max-Min Fairness, Proportional Fairness, CPE Pricing, and the Contract and Balancing Process. Background information on the history and technology of the Internet is also provided.
