subject: Factors that justify the high cost of broadband services [print this page] Broadband pricing can be overseen in the context of economy of rate of usage of broadband. Its pricing can be on alter of economic theory or otherwise. Pricing has many facets. If the demand is more than supply then price will be on higher side. Also for higher quality price will be also higher. Price factor also depends upon approach method to the end consumer and expenses involved in the process of that. Likely broadband pricing may be higher for remote or rural consumer.
Furthermore, broadband pricing cannot be fixed one. If it is fixed one, it will be a disadvantage to a large consumer or a disadvantage to the provider. It is therefore should be flexible or variable as per circumstances. It should be competitive and also be comparatively cheaper for bulk consumer. Therefore, for each and every type of consumer and for each and every megabyte there should have been a flexible and commensurate pricing. The same applies to web hosting pricing, following a very similar price scheme. Have a look at mejor hosting to see pricing similarities.
To encourage low quantity users to consume more, the pricing should be sufficient low for initial level of consumption to a certain limit, and thereafter high. Conversely to encourage a very high quantity user, the initial consumption should be competitive but after certain limit the broadband pricing should be comparatively cheaper. It cannot be dependent on a single structure of pricing. There should be different model and tariff plans to suit each and every class and clan to its need and economy. Broadband is a quality and quality producing product or process. For its rates/pricing is higher then other service, one should not mind. Bit for a comparative and competitive outlook a moderate pricing will be a better option.
Also, to have an excess on internet in busy hours, when internet traffic is on the peak, a speed limit of the broadband can only manage the game. However there is no limit of speed for international traffic yet broadband pricing for speed is a solution. It should be cheapest, so that it is affordable and it is in the budget of every one. However, lesser price cannot be presumed to be a single criterion for adoption of broadband. There are so many other factors too for adoption of the broadband like speed/quality and facility to download of two or more data communication on two wires apart from multimedia etc. In nutshell, it is controlled by many factors prevailing in the market dependent upon consumer's choice and his demand and above all quality facilitated by the technology.
