ABSTRACT:
A charge meter system and method of compiling utilization fees associated with a data transmission in a packet switched communications network. In one embodiment, the charge meter system includes a counter that counts a number of data packets associated with the data transmission and a charge rate subsystem that obtains a charge rate associated with the data transmission. The charge meter system also includes a calculation subsystem that calculates utilization fees based on the number of data packets and the charge rate of the data transmission. The charge meter system further includes an indication subsystem that provides the utilization fees to a user via user equipment participating in the data transmission.
