Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling pre-delivery of content to user devices, such as mobile devices, from remote content servers (e.g., content delivery nodes over a network) are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods receive an indication that a content item at a remote content server is available for pre-delivery to a mobile device over a mobile network, determine the mobile device is associated with sufficient content delivery credit to pre-deliver at least a fraction of the content item to the mobile device, and cause the at least fraction of the content item to be pre-delivered to the mobile device based on the determination.
