A location of the mobile device associated with the first network configuration is designated responsive to the first network configuration being included in the plurality of previously encountered network configurations. Usage patterns of the communication interfaces at the designated location are tracked. Connectivity is established for the mobile device to a remote network through the communication interfaces based on the usage patterns.
