  • Publication number: 20140173111
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow network users to manage their data usage. Various systems and methods are particularly aimed at users of metered data networks that require users to pay based on data usage, and allow for preventing or controlling data usage, so as to assist users in staying within a budget. Some systems and methods provide users with a way to prevent or throttle background data usage that they might not otherwise be aware of, such as background updates by applications that require the downloading of data. Also, some systems and methods allow for the use of compression and/or degradation to reduce data usage, and for the presentation of usage statistics to users to allow users to make more informed data usage decisions.
