Subscriptions to a network may be limited to certain geographic areas by defining a geographic area for the subscriber, identifying all of the network access points with the geographic area, and enabling the subscriber to access the network through those network access points. The network access points may be outfitted with Global Positioning System receivers or other geophysical location determination mechanisms such that the actual location of the network access point is used in determining a subscriber's permitted access.
