A network element (310) supports packet switched (PS) data communication over a data communication system (300) comprising a cellular communication network operably coupled to the Internet (330) . The network element (310) comprises packet inspection logic (313) arranged to inspect received PS data packets that are being routed through the network element (310) and extract a first portion of PS data packets. The network element (310) further comprises routing logic (312), operably coupled to the packet inspection logic (313), for routing the first portion of PS data packets to a destination node directly over the Internet (330) and routing a remaining portion of PS data packets of the received PS data packets over the cellular communication network based on the packet inspection. In this manner, PS data may be selectively routed direct to a destination node, say directly over the Internet, or via the cellular communication network.
