ABSTRACT:
A billing system for on-line computer networks is disclosed. Customers of the on-line system are billed in their own currency for billable events which are generated. Billable events can include access to premium services, file downloads or gateway connections to other systems. Real-time processing of billable events allows the system to post charges to a customer's on-line charge statement quickly following generation of the billable event.
