Abstract
In this chapter the state of the art of pricing for Internet services and its relation to Quality-of-Service (QoS) is addressed. Essential economic and technology basics, covering terms, accounting, and security are followed by a user-centered view, a content-based scheme, and a cost sharing approach.
