WHY: The tiered pricing model has worked well in the wired internet world where users are willing to pay a higher price for a faster web experience. Can wireless carriers emulate this model? Will mobile subscribers pay more for big bandwidth applications like downloading video?

Carriers need to begin laying the groundwork for tiered pricing models if they want to continue to grow their data revenues without alienating consumers. In the age of open networks and open mobile browsing, carriers need to know how subscribers are using data and browsing the Web so that they can better architect their networks, improve the user experience and charge subscribers appropriately.
