Abstract: A method, a device, and a storage medium having instructions stored thereon to obtain usage data that indicates a usage of a downloading service and a streaming service of programs, in which the programs are provided to user devices via unicast delivery. The usage data is analyzed to determine whether a multicast offloading or a broadcast offloading is to be invoked on behalf of a program designated for unicast delivery. Additionally, a method, a device, and a storage medium obtain usage data, analyze the usage data, and generate a recommendation for an infrastructural change of a content delivery network based on the analysis.

Abstract: A content distribution platform receives a respective trial time window for each of multiple items of digital content stored at the content distribution platform, and offers one of the items of the digital content to multiple customers during the respective trial time window. The content distribution platform tracks, during the respective trial time window, usage of the one of the plurality of items of digital content by one or more of the multiple customers. The content distribution platform generates, based on the tracked usage, a first usage report for the one of the multiple items of digital content at expiration of the respective trial time window
