A Clearinghouse is configured to provision subscriber-specific information with respect to subscribers of multiple wireless networks associated with multiple carriers. Application providers can access subscriber-specific information for subscribers of the various networks via a single source, thereby expediting application development and deployment. Moreover, the reach of such wireless service applications can be extended across wireless networks, thereby enhancing application functionality for subscribers. The Clearinghouse can provision the subscriber-specific information in accordance with specific rule sets for each carrier and/or application provider, thereby enabling provision of subscriber-specific information across multiple networks while addressing the privacy and other concerns of individual carriers. For example, in the context of a social networking application, a social network need not be limited in relation to carrier affiliations. |
