摘要
We describe the basic economic theory of pricing a congestible resource such as an ftp server, a router, a Web site, etc, In particular, we examine the implications of ''congestion pricing'' as a way to encourage efficient use of network resources. We explore the implications of hat pricing and congestion pricing for capacity expansion in centrally planned, competitive, and monopolistic environments.
