63. A system, comprising:
-
a processor of a network device configured to; submit a query to determine a device assisted implementation of a first service policy for a first communications device use of a first service on a first network, wherein the first service policy is stored in a first service policy record; and associate a first service policy setting in the first communications device with the first service policy record; and a memory of the network device coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions. - View Dependent Claims (64, 65)

66. A system, comprising:
-
a processor of a network device configured to; implement a first service policy for assisting control of the communications device use of a first service on a first network; monitor use of the first service based on the first service policy; and communicate control channel information over a control channel, wherein the control channel information includes information related to the first service policy implementation, and wherein a network bandwidth required for communicating the control channel information is reduced by associating a frequency of communication or an amount of data in each communication with a service usage level for the first service; and a memory of the network device coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions. - View Dependent Claims (67, 68, 69)
