摘要翻译：
正在进行的网络中立性辩论引发了许多关于是否应该监管内容和访问提供商之间的货币互动的激烈讨论。在讨论的几个主题中，由于一些服务提供商提出的“零评级”平台，“差别定价”最近受到了关注。在差别定价方案中，互联网服务供应商可以豁免某些CPs（零评级）的内容的数据访问费，而其他CPs的内容则没有豁免。这使得内容提供商有可能达成“赞助”协议，对其内容进行零评级，并吸引更多的用户流量。在本文中，我们研究差别定价对互联网中各种参与者的影响。我们首先考虑了一个具有垄断ISP和多个CPs的模型，其中用户根据服务质量（QoS）和数据访问费用选择CPs。研究结果表明：在差别定价机制下，(1)提供低QoS的合作伙伴比通过赞助提供更好QoS的合作伙伴有更高的盈余；（2）在差别定价机制下，终端用户的总体QoS（平均延迟）会下降；在多个ISP的寡头市场中，用户倾向于选择ISP最低的ISP,从而得出与垄断市场相同的结论；然后研究差别定价对ISP收益的影响。

英文摘要：
  The ongoing net neutrality debate has generated a lot of heated discussions on whether or not monetary interactions should be regulated between content and access providers. Among the several topics discussed, `differential pricing' has recently received attention due to `zero-rating' platforms proposed by some service providers. In the differential pricing scheme, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can exempt data access charges for on content from certain CPs (zero-rated) while no exemption is on content from other CPs. This allows the possibility for Content Providers (CPs) to make `sponsorship' agreements to zero-rate their content and attract more user traffic. In this paper, we study the effect of differential pricing on various players in the Internet. We first consider a model with a monopolistic ISP and multiple CPs where users select CPs based on the quality of service (QoS) and data access charges. We show that in a differential pricing regime 1) a CP offering low QoS can make have higher surplus than a CP offering better QoS through sponsorships. 2) Overall QoS (mean delay) for end users can degrade under differential pricing schemes. In the oligopolistic market with multiple ISPs, users tend to select the ISP with lowest ISP resulting in same type of conclusions as in the monopolistic market. We then study how differential pricing effects the revenue of ISPs.
