Utilizing ad-hoc network pathway support via communication devices

A system for networking, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits for use in a user end-point device, said one or more circuits are operable to determine a plurality of personal communication devices that are operable to communicate with said user end-point device;
• said one or more circuits are operable to establish, via said user end-point device, one or more connections with said plurality of personal communication devices to enable ad-hoc network communication via said one or more communication devices;
• and
• said one or more circuits are operable to negotiate with said personal communication devices, incentives for engaging in and/or facilitating said ad-hoc network communication via said one or more connections, wherein:
• said incentives are negotiated based on one or more connectivity and/or service related parameters associated with said one or more connections;
• and
• said negotiation comprises requesting adjustment of at least one of said connectivity and/or service related parameters based on adjustment of said incentives.

A system, comprising:

• one or more circuits for use in a server that manages ad-hoc connectivity, said one or more circuits being operable to maintain user accounts associated a plurality of users;
• said one or more circuits are operable to control ad-hoc connectivity among a plurality of communication devices, wherein at least one of said plurality of communication device is associated with a particular one of said plurality of users;
• and
• said one or more circuits are operable to adjust at least one of said user accounts based on requests for credit or billing adjustments received from at least one of said plurality of communication devices, wherein said requests are based on incentive negotiations during ad hoc communications via one or more of said plurality of communication devices.
