A probe request from a wireless station can cause the access point to contact a roaming enablement service and alter the services accessible through the access point. The roaming enablement service can identify preferred services of the wireless station and mediate automated negotiations between the access point and a service provider to determine whether the access point may provide a service from the service provider. Upon successful negotiations, the brokerage service can enable the access point to provide access to the preferred services.
