Average is just a function of total and time, and time progresses linearly with time, so average x some $ figure is just the same as saying total x some other $ figure. So most people would just look at that as being billing based upon total traffic volume, which yes, there are folks who do. I don't know of any in the U.S., but it's very common overseas, particularly places which have satellite links in their upstream path. -Bill
