Patent ID: 8473614

Claim:
A computer implemented method comprising: receiving, via an interface, first data being indicative of a quantity of resources to be allocated for delivery of data accessed from a network location; accessing, via a data communication network, the network location to identify second data being indicative of the amount of data accessible from the network location, wherein the network location includes a link to at least one further network location, the further network location being accessible via the network location, and wherein identifying the amount of data accessible from the network location is generated by combining the amount of data accessible at the network location with an estimation of the data accessible at the further network location based on a probability of the further network location being accessed from the network location and an average size of a further network location, wherein the probability of the further network location being accessed is based on a discrete value assigned to each layer of inter-web click through links, wherein each discrete value represents an estimate of the probability of accessing the level to which the discrete value is assigned; and determining a number of individual access requests initiated by a mobile terminal for data accessible from the network location that can be subsidized by the quantity of resources represented by the first data wherein the access requests are performed by a communication service provider at a delivery rate associated with the communication service provider, and the determined number of individual access requests is a function of the first data, second data, and the delivery rate; and outputting data indicative of the identified number of individual access requests.
