Particularly, a method is provided at a first service provisioning network operated by a first network operator for steering traffic from a second mobile network operated by a second network operator. The method comprises obtaining traffic steering information for the traffic from the second mobile network and generating, based at least on the traffic steering information, a traffic steering policy for the traffic from the second mobile network. The method also comprises informing the traffic steering policy to a traffic controller of the first service provisioning network so that the traffic controller steers the traffic from the second mobile network based on the traffic steering policy. Another method is provided for facilitating steering, within a service provisioning network operated by a first network operator, of traffic from a mobile network operated by a second network operator. The method comprises generating traffic steering information based at least on requirements from the mobile network and providing the traffic steering information to the service provisioning network for generating a traffic steering policy for the traffic from the mobile network.
