User interface for collecting criteria and estimating delivery parameters

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• accessing a network location to estimate an amount of data accessible through a web page at the network location, the estimate based on a probability of additional web pages being accessed through links on the web page and an average size of each additional web page, wherein the links are one of inter-web page links, external web page links, and a combination of inter-web page links and external web page links;
• receiving a quantity of resources to be allocated for the delivery of the data;
• and
• using a delivery rate specified by a communications service provider to deliver the data, the estimated amount of the data, and the allocated quantity of resources to identify a number of individual access requests initiated by a mobile device for the data that can be offset by the allocated quantity of resources when the data is delivered by the communications service provider.

A system comprising

• a processor coupled to a bus;
• a network interface coupled to the processor through the bus;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor through a bus, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to:
