1. A mobile device comprising:

  • a cellular transceiver;

    at least one other RF transceiver communicable with a non-cellular IP network access point;

    a data storage component; and

    at least one processor operable with one or more software applications configured to;

    collect Internet Protocol (IP) data consumption information associated with the mobile device;

    predict, based on the collected IP data consumption information, IP data the mobile device is expected to consume at a future time;

    automatically bypass any cellular network connection and downloading the predicted IP data to the mobile device using the at least one other RF transceiver over the non-cellular IP network access point;

    store the downloaded predicted IP data in the data storage component such that the stored IP data is not transported over a cellular network; and

    in response to a request for the predicted IP data and when no non-cellular IP network access point connection is available to the mobile device;

    bypass an available cellular network connection; and

    access the stored predicted IP data from cache memory using an application on the mobile device associated with the stored predicted IP data.
