3. A computationally-implemented method, comprising:
-
generating, through a network system, at least one bidding tag that is designed to solicit one or more bids for accessing a content that is being offered for consumption, at least in part, through the at least one bidding tag, the one or more bids to be solicited being one or more requests for accessing the content with one or more content access latencies and for one or more respective fees, and the content being offered for consumption being offered for access at different levels of content access latencies; distributing, from the network system, the at least one bidding tag to two or more computer platforms; presenting, through at least one or more of the two or more computer platforms, at least an option for selecting at least one level of access for accessing the content, the at least one level of access for accessing the content to be selected being associated with a particular amount of content access latency and a particular amount of fee, the option being presented in response, at least in part, to the distribution of the at least one bidding tag; receiving, from one or more content consumers and through the one or more computer platforms as a result, at least in part, of presenting at least the option, one or more submitted bids for accessing the content at one or more levels of access that are associated with one or more particular amounts of content access latencies and one or more respective amounts of fees; providing, from the one or more computing platforms and to the network system, the one or more submitted bids; releasing, from the network system and to the one or more computer platforms, the content, the content being released in response, at least in part, to the one or more submitted bids; presenting, through the one or more computer platforms, the content. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A computationally-implemented system, comprising:
-
means for generating, through a network system, at least one bidding tag that is designed to solicit one or more bids for accessing a content that is being offered for consumption, at least in part, through the at least one bidding tag, the one or more bids to be solicited being one or more requests for accessing the content with one or more content access latencies and for one or more respective fees, and the content being offered for consumption being offered for access at different levels of content access latencies; means for distributing, from the network system, the at least one bidding tag to two or more computer platforms; means for presenting, through at least one or more of the two or more computer platforms, at least an option for selecting at least one level of access for accessing the content, the at least one level of access for accessing the content to be selected being associated with a particular amount of content access latency and a particular amount of fee, the option being presented in response, at least in part, to the distribution of the at least one bidding tag; means for receiving, from one or more content consumers and through the one or more computer platforms as a result, at least in part, of presenting at least the option, one or more submitted bids for accessing the content at one or more levels of access that are associated with one or more particular amounts of content access latencies and one or more respective amounts of fees; means for providing, from the one or more computing platforms and to the network system, the one or more submitted bids; means for releasing, from the network system and to the one or more computer platforms, the content, the content being released in response, at least in part, to the one or more submitted bids; and means for presenting, through the one or more computer platforms, the content.

33. A system, comprising:
-
circuitry for generating, through a network system, at least one bidding tag that is designed to solicit one or more bids for accessing a content that is being offered for consumption, at least in part, through the at least one bidding tag, the one or more bids to be solicited being one or more requests for accessing the content with one or more content access latencies and for one or more respective fees, and the content being offered for consumption being offered for access at different levels of content access latencies; circuitry for distributing, from the network system, the at least one bidding tag to two or more computer platforms; circuitry for presenting, through at least one or more of the two or more computer platforms, at least an option for selecting at least one level of access for accessing the content, the at least one level of access for accessing the content to be selected being associated with a particular amount of content access latency and a particular amount of fee, the option being presented in response, at least in part, to the distribution of the at least one bidding tag; circuitry for receiving, from one or more content consumers and through the one or more computer platforms as a result, at least in part, of presenting at least the option, one or more submitted bids for accessing the content at one or more levels of access that are associated with one or more particular amounts of content access latencies and one or more respective amounts of fees; circuitry for providing, from the one or more computing platforms and to the network system, the one or more submitted bids; circuitry for releasing, from the network system and to the one or more computer platforms, the content, the content being released in response, at least in part, to the one or more submitted bids; and circuitry for presenting, through the one or more computer platforms, the content.
