Abstract. The telecommunications landscape is undergoing a period of dramatic change. A near term next generation network (NGN) is emerging characterized by a rich set of services and a dynamic and competitive marketplace where innovation and time to market will be critical success factors. Changing consumer-provider relationships, competitive pressures and new e-commerce technologies will accelerate the use of real time payment and prepayment techniques. This will increase the demand for real-time processing of charging data. Powerful, new, charging support systems will be needed to enable real time charging of these new services. Policy based management appears to offer potential solutions.

“…The marks discussed in this paper give shadow prices at the nest possible granularity; many choices are possible about the level of aggregation at which the marks are re®ected as costs or prices to economic agents. For example, the marks could allow the dispersal of charging operations such as metering, accounting and billing to customer systems; Briscoe et al (2000) argue that such an architecture gives simplicity and scalability, without sacri cing commercial ®exibility or security. Or the marks could be charges to third-party software running on customer systems, software which undertakes the risks associated with uncertain network loads and user behaviour (Semret & Lazar 1999;Key 1999), and presents an economic agent with pricing choices tailored for that agent.…”

This paper uses a variety of mathematical models to explore some of the consequences of rapidly growing communications capacity for the evolution of the Internet. It argues that queueing delays may become small in comparison with propagation delays, and that di¬erentiation between tra¯c classes within the network may become redundant. Instead, a simple packet network may be able to support an arbitrarily di¬erentiated and constantly evolving set of services, by conveying information on incipient congestion to intelligent end-nodes, which themselves determine what should be their demands on the packet network.

Information Access is Fine, But Who is Going to Pay?

Modern telecommunication networks promise new perspective in information access at any time, from any place. On the other hand recent spectrum auctions made it clear, that the transmission capacity (at least for wireless access!) becomes really an economic issue. In this talk we advocate the thesis, that both flat rate and usage based charging of the end-users are structurally wrong, and discuss an alternative dual charging model.
