A network element can monitor ( 105 ) communication resource usage by, for example, a first end user. A determination ( 106 ) can then be had as to whether this first end user's communication resource usage exceeds a predetermined individual level of usage for that first end user (as distinguished, for example, from an upper limit as might be generically applied across an entire user population). When the first end user's communication resource does exceed this predetermined individual level of usage, automatic limitations regarding the first end user's communication resource usage can be imposed ( 108 ) while nevertheless continuing to facilitate the end user's communication resource usage.
