1. A method for use in managing wireless network data, comprising:
identifying access information for a wireless local area network (WLAN), the access information being accessible over a wireless packet data connection; and
based on the access information, establishing a connection between a wireless data device and the WLAN.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless device is capable of receiving data from a wireless wide area network (WWAN) and from the WLAN.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless packet data connection includes a narrowband packet data connection.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless packet data connection includes a connection that is compatible with narrowband paging technology.
5. A method for use in managing wireless network data, comprising:
identifying a list of wireless local area networks (WLANs), the list being accessible over a wireless packet data connection; and
based on the list, attempting to establish a packet data connection with at least one of the WLANs in the list.
6. A method for use in managing wireless network data, comprising:
identifying location information pertaining to a geographical location; and
based on a communication over a wireless wide area network (WWAN), identifying a wireless local area network (WLAN) that corresponds to the location information.
7. A method for use in managing wireless network data, comprising:
identifying a wireless device and a wireless local area network (WLAN);
conveying information via a wireless packet data connection to the wireless device sufficient to enable the wireless device to detect the WLAN; and
sending information to a control point of the WLAN sufficient to authorize the wireless device to utilize a service through the WLAN.
causing the wireless device to confirm to the control point that access has been granted.
reporting charges for usage of services through the WLAN to a billing service.

[0017]FIG. 4 is an diagram of wireless devices.
[0019]FIG. 6 is a diagram of a data structure in a wireless network.
[0022]FIG. 1 illustrates that, in a wireless local area network (WLAN) 114, access points (APs) 112 are interconnected through a network, typically an Internet Protocol-based (IP) Ethernet (802.3) network or other private network, e.g. 802.11, that may include hosts 118, servers 120, and one or more gateways 122 to the Internet 124.
[0025]FIG. 2 illustrates that, in a wireless wide area network (WWAN) 210, a wireless network gateway 212 connects a WWAN user having the user's own wireless device 214 using an edge network 220 having an air protocol and characteristics suitable for WWAN, to the Internet 216 or a private data transport network 218.
[0026]FIG. 3 shows portions a data transport system 310 in which two WLANs, WLAN2, and WLAN3, with largely overlapping coverage are in proximity to each other, along with another WLAN, WLAN1, fully isolated in coverage from the other WLANs. WLAN1 and WLAN3, all under the coverage of the WWAN. An additional WLAN, WLAN4, is also depicted with only partial coverage under the WWAN. Typically, the air protocol utilized by the WWAN, which is provided for wide area applications with emphasis on efficient transport of error-free data, is distinct from air protocols used by a WLAN. A wireless device 312 suitable for responding to data broadcast in WWAN air protocol and responsive to the air protocol is depicted in coverage of the WWAN. Coverage is provided by a plurality of transmitters and receivers 314A-314D deployed around the covered area.
