We are all used to the way we pay for our Internet experience. We buy 'connectivity' from our local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and then consume a variety of Internet-based services. Some of these charge additional fees, mostly without any service guarantee. Numerous efforts have been undertaken to provide price differentiation in the Internet through introducing various control planes to be placed on top of the IP data plane. This paper is taking a fresh look at this by approaching the space more fundamentally. For that, we question the very foundation of the Internet, namely the transport of opaque data between two entities. Instead, we outline an architectural approach that focuses on information being routed, enabling differentiation at lower cost and higher scalability. We do not claim to have found the compelling evidence through evaluations that such cost and scalability benefits are indeed true. Instead, we intend to open the discussion in this area by focusing some of the new architectural approaches in the Internet on the issue of pricing regimes.
