A survey of smart data pricing: Past proposals, current plans, and future trends
TLDR
This survey reviews some of the well-known past broadband pricing proposals (both static and dynamic), including their current realizations in various consumer data plans around the world, and discusses several research problems and open questions.Abstract:
Traditionally, network operators have used simple flat-rate broadband data plans for both wired and wireless network access. But today, with the popularity of mobile devices and exponential growth of apps, videos, and clouds, service providers are gradually moving toward more sophisticated pricing schemes. This decade will therefore likely witness a major change in the ways in which network resources are managed, and the role of economics in allocating these resources. This survey reviews some of the well-known past broadband pricing proposals (both static and dynamic), including their current realizations in various consumer data plans around the world, and discusses several research problems and open questions. By exploring the benefits and challenges of pricing data, this article attempts to facilitate both the industrial and the academic communities' efforts in understanding the existing literature, recognizing new trends, and shaping an appropriate and timely research agenda.read more

My data just goes everywhere: user mental models of the internet and implications for privacy and security
TL;DR: A qualitative study to understand what people do and do not know about the Internet and how that knowledge affects their responses to privacy and security risks suggests a greater emphasis on policies and systems that protect privacy andSecurity without relying too much on users' security practices.
Pricing the Internet.
TL;DR: Some of the technology and costs relevant to pricing access to the Internet are described and a possible smart-market mechanism for pricing traffic on the Internet is suggested.

Sponsoring mobile data: An economic analysis of the impact on users and content providers
TL;DR: This work considers CPs' choice of how much content to sponsor and the implications for users, CPs, and ISPs, and introduces a framework for CPs to decide which, in addition to how much, content to sponsorship.

The Bargaining Problem
TL;DR: In this paper, a new treatment is presented of a classical economic problem, one which occurs in many forms, as bargaining, bilateral monopoly, etc It may also be regarded as a nonzero-sum two-person game in which a few general assumptions are made concerning the behavior of a single individual and of a group of two individuals in certain economic environments.

Rate control for communication networks: shadow prices, proportional fairness and stability
TL;DR: This paper analyses the stability and fairness of two classes of rate control algorithm for communication networks, which provide natural generalisations to large-scale networks of simple additive increase/multiplicative decrease schemes, and are shown to be stable about a system optimum characterised by a proportional fairness criterion.

Optimal Residential Load Control With Price Prediction in Real-Time Electricity Pricing Environments
TL;DR: Simulation results show that the combination of the proposed energy consumption scheduling design and the price predictor filter leads to significant reduction not only in users' payments but also in the resulting peak-to-average ratio in load demand for various load scenarios.

Efficient power control via pricing in wireless data networks
TL;DR: This work introduces pricing of transmit powers in order to obtain Pareto improvement of the noncooperative power control game, i.e., to obtain improvements in user utilities relative to the case with no pricing.
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
TL;DR: This document describes a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network Access Server which desires to authenticate its links and a shared Authentication Server.
