Abstract: A master account system for managing one or more electronic devices through the establishment and enforcement of policies associated with the devices. Enforcement policies may be determined by characteristics of space, time and/or other criteria relating to a user(s) and/or administrator(s), or in relation to one another, or some other general circumstance. The master account may be established on a pre-paid or postpaid basis with limits applied in real-time or near-real-time. The policies may apply across any number of devices associated with the master account. The addition and decrement of units of measure associated with the master account and device account(s) may be limited to the master account, to the master account and one or more device accounts at the same time, or allocated in numerous other ways. Content and other activity filtering may also be established and managed at the master account and/or device account level.
