Abstract: A data connection method for establishing a data connection over a communication network between the user of a toll-free bandwidth-related application installed on a network connected access device and target content on a network connected target device. The application user's bandwidth consumption activities that usually incur a bandwidth usage charge from the network operator providing the bandwidth connection are subsidized and managed by a toll-free application provider. Further disclosed is a system for enabling a collect IP call software framework that allows one or more party participating in a collect call to pay for bandwidth consumed by one or more other party participating in the same collect call.

Abstract: A data connection method for establishing a data connection between a bandwidth user (an application user) of a network connected user access device and a data source on a network connected target device over a communication network relating to the provision of data connection services to the user utilizing a subsidized application to allow the user of the subsidized application access to at least one target devices via a communication network, the method comprising: providing, via the communication network, a content and services brokerage engine, including a content and services brokerage engine web site store front, providing, via the web site, an online sale of a data connectivity package to at least one provider of a subsidized application; and, accepting, via the web site the purchase by a provider of a subsidized application of the at least one data connectivity package for inclusion by the provider of the subsidized application into a subsidized application to be used by a user of the subsidized appli

Abstract: A data connection method for establishing a data connection between a bandwidth user (an application user) of a network connected access device and target content on a network connected target device over a communication network where the application user's bandwidth consumption activities incur a bandwidth usage charge from the network operator providing the bandwidth connection, and may comprise providing a subsidized application to the bandwidth user that is capable of utilizing subsidized bandwidth as paid for by the application provider as it accesses such target content on a target device, as well as comprise an identification code associated with both the subsidized application and the provider of such subsidized application; further allowing the application user access to at least one specified online data address to access target content hosted on at least one target device pre-determined by the application provider; and monitoring and recording the online access activity of such subsidized applicati
