The start of the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) appears far from being thoroughly realized, because of the unclear definition of a business model especially from the point of view of the EETS Providers. Toll Chargers started to approach EETS at a greater speed, as they shall accept any possible Provider from October 2012. The EETS Directive is one of the factors affecting the next architecture of transport ICT, as well as the Eurovignette Directive and the ITS Directive. This paper analyses how the different approaches existing in the European countries for the management of tolling schemes create a growing need to harmonize criteria that, on one hand respect the traditions of member States and, on the other, help find the key towards a European vision of mobility. The need of harmonization is also confirmed by the latest development in the new European toll motorway systems, which have to take into account not only National needs (e.g. to guarantee back compatibility with existing local systems) but also those coming from the new perspectives at European level. Some future perspectives that could facilitate the vision of business models for the EETS Providers are analyzed, considering the roles of automotive industry, urban and maritime mobility and mobile technology.
