bodo raab,
I am talking more specifically about usage based billing on packet throughput rather than the duration of the connection.

In a TDM (Time Division Multiplexer) based network such as the traditional public switched network, billing based on the duration of the connection makes sense. However, in a packet based network it is not the duration of the call that is most significant, but the number of packets that traverse the network.
