Pricing model for 3G/4G networks

Pricing of the future multimedia services in the 3G/4G networks will play a key role from operator's point of view to achieve the maximum revenue and maximizing ROY. On the other hand pricing of the various new services is a very important issue to subscribers and especially the pricing versus the acceptance of services will be a very delicate and important matter that must be dealt very gently. This paper introduces models for the 3G/4G service pricing including QoS.
