Abstract
This chapter aims to provide new possibilities for service providers to enhance their revenues using the appropriate pricing scheme. Features and applicability of responsive pricing scheme and hybrid pricing for charging end users in next generation network are discussed. Game theory is used as an underlying concept for the implementation of pricing. In addition, transparent mapping of quality of service parameters to quality of business are considered, encompassing service price dependence on quality of service violation, which is consequently reflected on service provider's revenue.

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for Emerging All-IP Networks
A next generation network (NGN) as defined by ITU-T is a packet-based network able to provide services including telecommunication services and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. It offers unrestricted access by users to different service providers. It supports generalized mobility, which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.

The Global Telecommunications Industry Facing the IP Revolution: Technological and Regulatory Challenges
A broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in telecommunication networks (both for core and access) that will be deployed during the next decade. NGNs are commonly built around the Internet Protocol, and therefore the term “all-IP” is also sometimes used to describe the transformation towards NGN.
