1. A computer-implemented method of managing resource usage of mobile devices based on resource thresholds of wireless communications
networks, the method comprising:
receiving a resource policy from a mobile device that is registered to a service provider network resource management subscription
plan for a wireless communications network, the resource policy indicating that a network resource manager associated with
the wireless communications network is authorized to use the resource policy to control the resource usage of the mobile device
to support a resource threshold level of the wireless communications network;
determining that the wireless communications network has met the resource threshold;
upon determining that the wireless communications threshold has met the resource threshold, restricting the resource usage
of the mobile device using the received resource policy of the mobile device; and
determining a reward for the network resource management subscription plan for the mobile device, wherein a portion of the
reward is based in part upon a calculated amount of restricted resource usage of the mobile device during peak hours of wireless
communications network traffic.
