Re: Metered billing coming - for telcos & cable; reason video I only mentioned the network layer functionality. The consumer doesn't have to think about the priority of each packet because there would be optimization tools to handle that for different profiles (video, audio, gaming, etc).
A simple method may be to have a knob for each application that you turn up until you get acceptable service (video not smooth? turn up the knob; too expensive for your taste? turn down the knob). The real-time price would be displayed also.
At the simplest, the user only has to do nothing and every packet will be treated with best effort service level. |
