Abstract
A device, system, and process of metering data usage of a wireless device includes receiving a request for data usage of a web resource by the wireless device, determining if the web resource corresponds to at least one entry in a database, allowing access to the web resource by the wireless device, and tracking data usage of the web resource by the wireless device. The metering data usage of the web resource by the wireless device based on information contained in the database and the metering data usage of the web resource by the wireless device further includes not metering all data usage with respect to a user's plan if the database indicates the web resource is associated with specialized metering parameters.
