  1. Smart Data Pricing (SDP) Innovating Data Plans Soumya Sen Joint Work with: Sangtae Ha, Carlee Joe-Wong, Mung Chiang Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  2. Challenges to the Internet Is it 1 year feasible ? to keep the Internet economically viable 10 /GB $ ? & technologically sustainable 100 % ? Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  3. Challenges to the Internet Is it 1 Technological factors year feasible to keep the Internet Human factors economically viable 10 /GB $ & Economic factors technologically sustainable 100 % ? Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  4. Challenges to the Internet NetEcon as a Solution Is it Technological factors feasible to keep the Internet Consumer Behavior User Trials Network Economics HCI, Engineering Theory Systems Human factors Economics economically viable & Tools Methods Economic factors technologically sustainable ? Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  5. NetEcon: A Holistic Agenda Technology Network Economics HCI & Analytics Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  6. What is Smart Data Pricing (SDP)? A. Usage pricing/metering/throttling/capping B. Time/location/congestion-dependent pricing C. App based pricing D. Smart Markets, Sponsored content E. Paris metro pricing F. Quota-aware content distribution G. All of the above… Time-Dependent Pricing Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  7. NetEcon as a Solution The Driving Forces Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  8. Evolution of Access Pricing The Driving Forces Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  9. Time Elasticity Movies & Multimedia downloads, P2P Streaming videos, Gaming Large Peak-Valley Differential Software Downloads Opportunities Cloud Texting, Weather, Finance Email, Social Network updates Opportunities for Exploiting time-elasticity of demand Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  10. Stakeholder Perspectives • Consumers • Policy feasibility • Industry moves: US, Europe, India, Africa Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  11. Time Dependent Pricing (TDP) ISP cost optimization, taking user reaction into account Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  12. ISP’s Optimization Problem Cost of overshooting capacity Cost of rewards Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  13. Estimating Waiting Function Economic modeling reward waiting function patience index delay Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  14. TDP Architecture Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  15. Princeton Trial Money Flow • TDP for 3G data • Feasibility study • Prototype development • Trial • 50 volunteers Data Flow Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  16. Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) • Price display • Day-ahead • Color coded: red (<10%), orange (10 ~19%), yellow (20 ~ 29%) and green (>= 30%) • Self-education • Top 5 Apps • User control • Autopilot mode Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  17. Price Sensitivity • Do users wait to use mobile data in return for a monetary discount? • Average usage decreasein high-price periods relative to the changes in low-price periods Usages changed by -10.1% in high-price and 15.7% in low-price periods Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  18. Notification Effectiveness • Do notifications impact usage? • About 60-80% of the active users decrease their usage in response to price notification pop-ups Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  19. UI Effectiveness • Do users respond more to the numerical values of TDP prices or to the color of the price indicator bar on the home screen? Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  20. Optimized TDP Impact • Does the peak usage decrease with time-dependent pricing? And does this decrease come at the expense of an overall decrease in usage? • Optimized TDP reduce the peak-to-average ratio • Overall usage significantly increase with TDP 30% PAR reduction Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  21. Impact on Ecosystem • Does the application usage distribution change due to TDP? • People are motivated to use more bandwidth during low-price periods, “valley filling”. Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  22. Viability • Will you be able to decide on “when” to use? • “I think it's a great idea, ..the iPadswould say, 'If you wait a half an hour, you can have...' I thought that was incredibly useful. And I would be able to make that decision.” • Are there apps for which you usually wait? • “[I]f I'm out in my car and I needed it for GPS, I wouldn't care how much money I'm spending… if I just wanted to be on a social network or check my email, I would certainly wait.” Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  23. Usefulness • What are your main concerns with TDP? • “If it's predictable, yes, I think so, because let's say I know that definitely everyday from 9 to 10 it's less, then I can plan a little bit.” • Was the color-coded notification bar useful to you? • “I group the colors I would see if it's a good color for me... because I couldn't always figure out what it meant in terms of the dollar amount and translate that into how much I was using” Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  24. Opinions • Were you tempted to use more data when the discounts were higher? • “[laughs] Kind of! But that also goes toward my personality of if it's on saleI must buy it!” • Will TDP adversely affect high-bandwidth app developers? • “I don't think this will result in those kinds of applications being developed less, and I think that's because you're giving users the option” Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  25. Prototypes and Trials Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  26. Soumya Sen, WITE 2012

  27. From $10/GB To SDP • Real progress feasible • http://www.datami.com • Collaboration will help • http://scenic.princeton.edu/SDP2012/ • Get to win-win for all • References: • S. Sen, C.
