Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for conservation of battery life with a shared network connection. In the context of a method, a connection is caused to be established with a local network. The local network includes a modem which is in connection with a network. The method also causes at least one mobile device to be disconnected from the network following the connection to the local network. While the at least one mobile device is disconnected from the network, the method receives a signal indicating that a connection should be established with the network. In response to the signal, the method causes the connection with the local network to be terminated and causes the connection to be established with the network.
