Abstract

In one illustrative example, a wireless device receives a communication policy from a private network (704). The communication policy includes allowable service provider identifiers (e.g. domain names, realms) corresponding to allowable service providers (706). The wireless device stores these identifiers in its memory. When roaming, the wireless device encounters a wireless network ("hotspot") and receives via the wireless network one or more reachable service provider identifiers corresponding to one or more reachable service providers. In a work mode of operation, the wireless device allows a connection to the wireless network based on a match between one of the allowable and reachable service provider identifiers, but otherwise disallows the connection (708). The communication policy may additionally or alternatively include device types for P2P networks (706), and/or allowable private network identifiers (e.g. ESSIDs), and/or allowable hotspot aggregator service identifiers or names706) , for use in the work mode.
