Broadband access providers, facing infrastructure overcapacity combined with low service penetration, have begun to introduce intermediate levels of service. "Liquid bandwidth" is a novel pricing scheme that lets customers pay a per-unit access charge to temporarily upgrade their service when they want to utilize broadband for newer types of on-line content. Such pricing schemes can significantly boost the profits of the service provider. Effective penetration of broadband services in a monopolist market might require regulatory intervention or some form of subsidy. |
