Abstract: | IPTV as an alternative transmission path for broadcast is gaining in importance increasingly. Promoted by the continuous expansion of broadband networks and IP convergence, IPTV is an enabler for several service-based developments such as time-, device-, and place-shifted viewing. In this regard, IPTV is attractive for multiple service operators as it can be used both as an instrument of customer retention and an additional source of revenue. Despite these technical advantages we observe, that the technical potential of IPTV has not been fully reflected by any pay-TV charging model for broadcast content so far. In particular, a consumer-oriented charging model can act as an advantage for pioneering service operators who offer novel content and technologies in highly competitive markets. In this work, we develop a novel short-interval charging model for linear pay-TV over IPTV called channel switching-triggered charging. For the design, implementation, and evaluation of this model we consider requirements of pay-TV consumers and service operators. In particular, a special emphasis is placed on the aspects of acceptance. This charging model is based on the conventional channel switching actions of users and is realized by employing multicast encryption schemes. After implementing the proposed model we present a case study. We prove that our contribution provides additional benefits for the consumer and the service provider while maintaining an equivalent level of service quality compared to Free-TV. |
