1. Bandwidth Based Service Offerings

This feature enables an ISP to make different tiers of its Internet Access service based on different bandwidths offered to the customers e.g. 512kbps, 1mbps etc.

Bandwidth based Service Offerings

Monthly Packages

Page 8: PCC (Policy & Charging Control) for Broadband Networks.

2. Bundled Counters

This feature enables an ISP to bundle some quota along with the monthly subscription for the service e.g. include 5GB or 10GB. Combined with the first feature above, it allows ISPs to make Service Offerings like 1mbps / 5GB or 1mbps / 10GB etc.

Volume based Monthly Packages

Page 9: PCC (Policy & Charging Control) for Broadband Networks.

This feature enables an ISP to bundle multiple quotas with a single subscription. The quotas may have different matching criteria's e.g.• Time Based:

The counter only applies to usage during a time period e.g. during night hours.

• 1mbps - 5GB day volume - unlimited night volume $10 per month

• Access Method Based:The counter only applies to usage through a specific access method e.g. Wi-Fi offload instead of over the air wireless methods.

• 1mbps - 5GB Wi-Max - 20GB Wi-Fi $10 per month

4. Add-On Counter Subscriptions

This feature enables an ISP to offer add-on subscriptions of counters that users can optionally subscribe to e.g. Night Unlimited for $5.00 per month.

This feature enables an ISP to offer quota as a commodity which its customers can purchase as and when required e.g.

On-Demand Quota

S. No. Volume Price Validity

7. Fair Usage / Always On This feature enables an ISP to throttle the bandwidth to some lower bandwidth as a customer crosses different thresholds of usage during its billing cycle e.g. offering a 1MB - Unlimited package but throttling to 256kbps once the user has crossed 5GB of volume usage.

8. Counter Based BandwidthThis feature enables an ISP to attach a bandwidth to any counter offering. The customer is moved to that bandwidth when the counter matches e.g. offering a 4mbps bandwidth with a Night Counter. The counter could be bundled with the base subscription or it could be an add-on counter subscribed separately by the customer.
