To achieve, this, we need a new view to networks, network services and service abilities. The amount of service providers in the 3G networks will be at least the same than in the present Internet. The amount of users in the 3G networks will overgrow the user amount of Internet forming a global worldwide communication society. This paper discusses customer billing in the 3G world. There are some main issues that are not very, clear to all 3G service and network providers, which however, should be settled before, 3G networks are operational. One of the most important matters is the QoS (Quality of Service), which is needed to achieve all benefits of the 3G networks. Here, we present the roles of the different providers that will interact with each other. New service types that will be developed and exploited with the new technology and the ways to charge services in 3G world in an appropriate manner for customers and operators is also presented. Not all of the details will be discussed here, but the main issues are covered and the one goal is to start discussions of this important issue among customers and service providers.
