In a dedicated system, the user is normally charged for the entire system. Suppose that in a multiprogramming system only one user is currently on the system. Should the user be charged for the entire system?
What will be an ideal response?
There are arguments both ways. Because the user has the whole system and can
presumably use it all, then yes, the user should be charged for the entire system.
But such a charging scheme seems grossly unfair. At a time when you may be
the only person in your area making a telephone call, you are certainly not
charged for the entire area’s telephone service. Ideally, a user should be charged
for the resources used, regardless of whether other users are being serviced or
not. Surely the user will receive better service when no other user is on the system,
but the same user may experience poor service when the system is heavily
loaded.
