This may be obvious, but billing by volume (bytes transferred) places far greater availability requirements on the measurement system than rate-based charging schemes.
Not particularly. If you have the average (not median) of usage for the month, even losing a sample here or there, you'd be just as accurate as a 95th %tile which may have missed the same measurements.
If I am charging by the byte, I have to count every packet. If my measurement system breaks, I lose money until it is fixed.
See above, 'average'.
