Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing application, service, and / or content
access control. Based at least in part on a
consumer's choice of applications, services, content, and / or content providers—particular in exchange for a subsidy on content and / or network access fees provided to the
consumer by chosen content providers—, a computing
system may determine whether access to applications, services, and / or content not associated with the chosen content providers (“other content”) should be allowed or restricted. If restricted, the computing
system might utilize various network access techniques and / or technologies to block the
consumer's access to the other content, to allow access to the other content on a charge per access basis, or to allow access to the other content at reduced network access speeds. In some embodiments, an access provider (e.g., an
Internet service provider, etc.) might perform both determination and implementation of content access and restriction.
