The invention provides for telecommunications user equipment 12, such as a mobile phone or PDA, including network access control means operative responsive to control parameters and further including a subscriber module e.g. SIM or USIM accessible remote from the user equipment and arranged to store the said control parameters for use by the access control means. The subscriber module can comprise a mobile equipment offering gateway functionality such as between a public access network 16 and a local IP link 14. It is envisaged that a mobile terminal's internal or co-located external devices may connect to the internet wirelessly, through the mobile terminal, with the mobile terminal acting as a border gateway. The local IP sub-network would be hidden behind the single IP address of the mobile terminal, and this application seeks to control the network access available to the mobile device. |
