Receiving content in accordance with a particular level of access associated with a particular amount of content access latency

A computationally-implemented system, comprising:

• means for receiving a bidding tag for a content that is to be offered for consumption at different levels of access for accessing the content, the different levels of access for accessing the content to be offered being associated with different amounts of content access latencies and different amounts of associated fees, and the bidding tag to be received at least identifying a content type to be offered for consumption and designed for eliciting one or more bids for the content;
• means for transmitting a bid in response, at least in part, to receiving the bidding tag, the bid to be transmitted being a request for accessing the content at a particular level of access, the particular level of access being for accessing the content with a particular amount of content access latency and for a particular amount of associated fee, the particular level of access having been selected from the different levels of access for accessing the content;
• and
• means for receiving the content in accordance with the particular level of access.

A system, comprising:

• circuitry for receiving a bidding tag for a content that is to be offered for consumption at different levels of access for accessing the content, the different levels of access for accessing the content to be offered being associated with different amounts of content access latencies and different amounts of associated fees, and the bidding tag to be received at least identifying a content type to be offered for consumption and designed for eliciting one or more bids for the content;
• circuitry for transmitting a bid in response, at least in part, to receiving the bidding tag, the bid to be transmitted being a request for accessing the content at a particular level of access, the particular level of access being for accessing the content with a particular amount of content access latency and for a particular amount of associated fee, the particular level of access having been selected from the different levels of access for accessing the content;
• and
• circuitry for receiving the content in accordance with the particular level of access.
