1. A method of transmitting digital content, comprising:
- receiving by a computer an electronic shopping cart identifying at least a first shopping item;
determining by a computer that the first shopping item is an item of digital content based on analyzing the electronic shopping cart;
analyzing by a computer a demand for communication network resources;
estimating by a computer a congestion of a communication network by analyzing uncommitted reservations of communication network resources, wherein each of the uncommitted reservations is determined based on potential consumption of communication network resources when fulfilling a digital content delivery offer;
building by a computer a plurality of offers for wirelessly transmitting the first shopping item to a wireless communication device based on analyzing the demand for communication network resources and based on estimating the congestion of the communication network;
transmitting by a computer the plurality of offers;
receiving by a computer a selection of one of the offers; and
transmitting by a computer the digital content based on the selected offer.
