Abstract

A mobile computing device includes a roaming bandwidth advisor for determining size information of web data (e.g., webpage, streaming media) before the web data is received in the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device may cooperatively work with a cloud computing system to obtain size information of the web data. Roaming fee information (e.g., the size of the web data and/or associated roaming fee) for receiving the web data is displayed on the mobile computing device before a request for the web data is sent out of the mobile computing device.
