on the other hand if the data usage exceeds the 0 35 mb s threshold during the dp the 2g 3g network can be selected for the mobile terminal 206 in some aspects of the subject disclosure mediation component 220 can employ a signaling interface 222 to obtain subscriber information and or preferences for mobile terminal 206 from an hlr 224 thus for instance where a subscriber profile indicates that data services or high data usage is preferred mediation component 220 can employ the high data usage preference in the network selection thus for instance even though data usage for the mobile terminal 206 is below a threshold for 2g 3g network selection mediation component 220 can select the 2g 3g network based on the subscriber profile preference in addition to the foregoing mediation component 220 can initiate a re evaluation period rp after selecting a network for the mobile terminal 206 during the rp analysis component 218 tracks usage characteristics of the terminal 206 the rp usage characteristics can be forwarded to mediation component 220 for further determination based on such determination the mediation component 220 can maintain the selected network as a default for mobile terminal 206 or select a different network to continue the foregoing example if the data usage exceeds the 0 35 mb s threshold during the rp and a subscriber profile does not indicate a preference for 2g networks mediation component 220 can switch the default network to a 2g 3g network once the default network is switched a second rp can be initiated to further monitor terminal data usage upon expiration of the rp a further determination can be made as described above fig3 depicts a block diagram of an example system.
