The important task for data communication network is, ultimately, to determine an effective pricing strategy.

Thus, we construct a new pricing model which includes not only the price competition but also random demand to maximize the providers profit in free market. Finally, the results show that this method is an effective method for determining the optimal price strategy in free market.
