1. A method of enabling remote data usage accounting for a computing device, comprising:

  • operating one or more personal applications and one or more enterprise applications on the computing device, wherein the enterprise applications are designated for enterprise data usage accounting based on a relationship between an enterprise and a user of the computing device; and

    enabling a separate billing path for data sessions of the enterprise applications;

    wherein enabling the separate billing path for the data sessions of the enterprise applications comprises;

    receiving a data session request from one of the enterprise applications for content from an external entity that is a final endpoint; and

    natively redirecting the data session request intended for the external entity to a relay server that is remote to the computing device, wherein the relay server is configured to both establish a connection with the intended external entity and perform an enterprise data usage accounting of content exchanged based on the data session request;

    wherein natively redirecting the data session request intended for the external entity to the relay server further comprises packaging the final endpoint for delivery to the relay server to enable the relay server to exchange data with the final endpoint.
