Abstract
Techniques involving the acquisition of wireless communications systems are disclosed. For example, an apparatus may store a list of one or more preferred wireless communications systems. Upon identifying a first accessible wireless communications system that is absent from the list, the device may acquire this system. However, after this acquisition, the device may further identify a second accessible wireless communications system. If the second system is included in the list of one or more preferred wireless communications systems, the apparatus may acquire the second system.
