Abstract
In order to facilitate access to multiple networks, an electronic device may first authorize a portable electronic device to access a radio-access network associated with a network operator. In particular, the electronic device may provide a request with a first identifier for a portable electronic device to an authentication/authorization server for access to the radio-access network. After receiving first authorization information from the authentication/authorization server for the portable electronic device to access the radio-access network, the electronic device may provide a second request with a second identifier of the portable electronic device to a second server for access to a second network associated with the second server and an entity. Based on the subsequent response from the second server, the electronic device may provide access information to a radio node that allows the portable electronic device to access the radio-access network, or radio-access network and the second network.
