A method comprising: determining, by a network device (152, 158), a load state of each of a plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) associated with one or more second service providers, wherein the network device (152, 158) is not configured to function as a base station, wherein: each of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) backhauls a respective one of a plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) associated with a first service provider; and for each one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), the determination of the load state is based on a periodic data cap measured in bits or bytes imposed by a second service provider and corresponds to a total amount of data for a certain period of time on the one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), wherein the load state is an average traffic load L over a current, in-progress time period; and configuring, by a base station manager, one or more of the plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) based on the determined load state of each of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), wherein the configuring one or more of the plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) comprises adjusting a value of a parameter such that traffic is redistributed from a more-heavily-loaded one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) to a less-heavily-loaded one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b). determining, by a network device (152, 158), a load state of each of a plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) associated with one or more second service providers, wherein the network device (152, 158) is not configured to function as a base station, wherein: each of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) backhauls a respective one of a plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) associated with a first service provider; and for each one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), the determination of the load state is based on a periodic data cap measured in bits or bytes imposed by a second service provider and corresponds to a total amount of data for a certain period of time on the one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), wherein the load state is an average traffic load L over a current, in-progress time period; and configuring, by a base station manager, one or more of the plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) based on the determined load state of each of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), wherein the configuring one or more of the plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) comprises adjusting a value of a parameter such that traffic is redistributed from a more-heavily-loaded one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) to a less-heavily-loaded one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b). each of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) backhauls a respective one of a plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) associated with a first service provider; and for each one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), the determination of the load state is based on a periodic data cap measured in bits or bytes imposed by a second service provider and corresponds to a total amount of data for a certain period of time on the one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), wherein the load state is an average traffic load L over a current, in-progress time period; and configuring, by a base station manager, one or more of the plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) based on the determined load state of each of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b), wherein the configuring one or more of the plurality of base stations (102a, 102b) comprises adjusting a value of a parameter such that traffic is redistributed from a more-heavily-loaded one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b) to a less-heavily-loaded one of the plurality of network connections (104a, 104b).
