"This paper proposes the concept of 'priority' as a measure of bandwidth preferences and goes on to show that prioritization will benefit the design of business models in current participatory communication networks. Research for this paper is based on the project plan for the WiMAX network developed at the Keio Research Institute at Shonan Fujisawa Campus, Japan. In this paper, network condition is suggested as a ready tool for determining cost sharing on broadband networks, with a view to both recovering investment and operating costs and providing the public with basic communication services at a low charge. Doing so is significant, as it leads to the expansion of network access. The process of creating value across the network is thus accelerated, and the value of the network itself is raised. Specifically, priority pricing will lower the rates for low priority service, and small bandwidth may be allocated to high priority service for private use during peak demand in return for a premium payment. This will generate substantial revenue, which would allow offering Internet access to the public at extremely low rates at ordinary, non-critical times." [Information des Anbieters]
