Data Charging
The cost of using the mobile network for data services. The
two main charging models are: pay-as- you-use, which is
effectively metered billing because the charges increase in
proportion to the amount of data consumed by the user; the
second method is charging at pre-set rates (over a monthly
usage period) for pre-determined amounts of data that can
be consumed. These charges become significant in the
distribution of rich media content that drives large amounts
of data across the networks.
