1. A user equipment for optimizing a media content delivery, comprising:

  • at least one memory having a resource manager stored therein;

    at least one processor;

    a resident power source; and

    a transceiver;

    wherein the resource manager is configured to;

    determine a plurality of device metrics including a resource metric and a local policy metric, wherein the local policy metric comprises a current geographic location of the user equipment and the local policy threshold is a provider preferred geographic area threshold, or wherein the local policy metric comprises a current provider with which the user equipment is attached and the local policy threshold concerns whether the current provider is a preferred provider;

    compare each of the plurality of device metrics to one or more corresponding device thresholds; and

    generate an instruction to throttle a media content delivery when it is determined that the resource metric has exceeded a resource threshold value or that the local policy metric has achieved a local policy threshold value.
