For example have three channels, high speed, normal and economy (each charged at different rates).
For example for you video calls your configure your application to request high speed.
For your web browsing you request normal, and for your BitTorent etc. you request economy, but if you really want that file now and is prepared to pay for it, the user can bump the priority up.
