Eliciting one more more bids for accessing content at one or more levels of content access from two or more client computing devices

A computationally-implemented system, comprising:

• means for communicating to two or more client computing devices at least one bidding tag that is designed to elicit one or more bids for accessing a content that is being offered for consumption at different levels of access for accessing the content, each of the different levels of access for accessing the content that is being offered for consumption being associated with a different content access latency and associated fee pair, and the at least one bidding tag to be communicated at least partially identifying the content to be offered for consumption;
• means for obtaining one or more bids as a result, at least in part, of communicating the at least one bidding tag to the two or more client computing devices, the one or more bids to be obtained being at least one or more requests for accessing the content at one or more levels of the different levels of access for accessing the content that is being offered for consumption;
• and
• means for releasing the content in accordance with the one or more obtained bids.

A system, comprising:

• circuitry for communicating to two or more client computing devices at least one bidding tag that is designed to elicit one or more bids for accessing a content that is being offered for consumption at different levels of access for accessing the content, each of the different levels of access for accessing the content that is being offered for consumption being associated with a different content access latency and associated fee pair, and the at least one bidding tag to be communicated at least partially identifying the content to be offered for consumption;
• circuitry for obtaining one or more bids as a result, at least in part, of communicating the at least one bidding tag to the two or more client computing devices, the one or more bids to be obtained being at least one or more requests for accessing the content at one or more levels of the different levels of access for accessing the content that is being offered for consumption;
• and
• circuitry for releasing the content in accordance with the one or more obtained bids.
