In one illustrative example, a wireless device receives a communication policy from a private network. The communication policy includes allowable service provider identifiers (e.g. domain names, realms) corresponding to allowable service providers. 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. The communication policy may additionally or alternatively include device types for P2P networks, and/or allowable private network identifiers (e.g. ESSIDs), and/or allowable hotspot aggregator service identifiers or names, for use in the work mode. |

1. A method in a wireless device for wireless communications, the method comprising:
receiving, at a processor of the wireless device via a wireless transceiver of the wireless device, communication policy data from a private network, the communication policy data comprising one or more allowable service provider identifiers corresponding to one or more allowable service providers; storing in memory of the wireless device the one or more allowable service provider identifiers; receiving, at the processor, via the wireless transceiver, data from a wireless network comprising a hotspot, the data comprising one or more reachable service provider identifiers corresponding to one or more reachable service providers which provide service via the wireless network; in response to determining, at the processor, that the wireless device is operating in a first mode:
allowing a connection, via the wireless transceiver, to the wireless network for communications therewith based on identifying that at least one of the allowable service provider identifiers matches the reachable service provider; and disallowing the connection via the wireless transceiver to the wireless network based on identifying that none of the allowable service provider identifiers match the reachable service provider identifiers; and in response to determining, at the processor, that the wireless device is operating in a second mode:
allowing the connection via the transceiver to the wireless network for communications therewith based on the reachable service providers irrespective of the allowable service provider identifiers. |
