Aspects of the present disclosure provide for yield management models for dynamically pricing access to wireless communication services. In some examples, access to a network is intermediated by a surrogate access point, which may act as a proxy or relay, expanding communication services to client devices that otherwise may lack a subscription, or may lack a suitable communication interface, to communicate directly with the wireless network. Here, the surrogate access point may be a subscriber device or user equipment. By utilizing the yield management model, the surrogate access point may receive compensation for sharing its connection to the network with nearby client devices. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
