Utility Model
The utility model is based on metering usage, or a "pay as you go" approach.
Unlike subscriber services, metered services are based on actual usage rates. Traditionally, metering has been used for
essential services (e.g., electricity water, long-distance telephone services). Internet service providers (ISPs) in some
parts of the world operate as utilities, charging customers for connection minutes, as opposed to the subscriber model
common in the U.S.
