ISPs provide every household bill controller with a single account-level dashboard, covering mobile data and home broadband together, auto-generated from existing usage data. The same architecture applies wherever an age restriction needs enforcing below the platform level.
Browsing, banking, essential services, everyday life. The default bucket for ordinary use.
Working from home, home schooling, video calls. Protected from competing with entertainment.
Streaming, gaming, music. The household sets the budget, not the platform.
The family decides the allocation. Not the algorithm.
Every device on the household account shares the same allocation. Switching to a different screen does not escape it. Categorisation happens at device level only, chosen by the household, so the network carries all traffic identically and net neutrality is preserved in full.
This is the same overview shared with MPs and the DSIT Select Committee.
A regulator mandates an open standard. Every ISP implements it. The bill controller manages all devices. No tokens, no marketplace, no new commercial arrangement required.
Content platforms compete to contribute data tokens to household sub-buckets. ISPs earn distribution revenue. Families accept or decline consciously. The market builds this on its own.
