Abstract: There are currently many proposals for pricing and charging models but, in the absence of real experience of providing commercial communication services for a wide variety of applications, the proposals are generally based on plausibility arguments. Within M3I we intend to carry out large scale simulations and experiments and modelling analyses to gather information about the applicability of differentiated pricing through usage-based and dynamic charging schemes. Our key goal is to gauge the effectiveness of market forces in allocating network resources to end- systems according to their application requirements and utilities.
