1. A method, comprising:
- providing an analysis unit that selectively;
outputs content to communicator devices via a first service provider;
outputs content to communicator devices via a second service provider having a bandwidth limitation; and
rejects content such that communicator devices do not receive the content and providing a prioritization unit that;
determines whether the first service provider is available to pass content to a communicator device;
receives a user-defined priority from the communicator device indicating whether content should be received by the communicator device via the second service provider; and
passes the content, based on the determination that the first service provider is available, such that the communicator device receives the content via the first service provider;
orpasses the content, based on the determination that the first service provider is not available and the user-defined priority, such that the communicator device receives the content via the second service provider;
orrejects the content, based on the user-defined priority and a determination that the first service provider is unavailable, such that the communicator device does not receive the content.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium (CRSM) storing instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, cause a system to:
selectively; output content to communicator devices via a first service provider; output content to communicator devices via a second service provider having a bandwidth limitation; and reject content such that communicator devices do not receive the content determine whether the first service provider is available to pass content to a communicator device; receive a user-defined priority from a user of the communicator device indicating whether content should be received by the communicator device via the second service provider; and pass the content, based on the determination that the first service provider is available, such that the communicator device receives the content via the first service provider;
orpass the content, based on the determination that the first service provider is not available and the user-defined priority, such that the communicator device receives the content via the second service provider;
orreject the content, based on the user-defined priority, such that the communicator device does not receive the content via the second service provider.
