  • a mobility manager, having a database that stores a net table of potential networks which the transmitting device is capable of connecting with, for generating a prioritized list of qualifying networks with varying priorities over which a data object may be transmitted to a receiving device; and

    a communication manager, coupled to the mobility manager, for determining a highest-priority qualifying network that is deemed available from the prioritized list of qualifying networks over which to transmit the data object from the transmitting device to the receiving device, wherein a lower-priority qualifying network from the prioritized list of qualifying networks is only used to transmit the data object if all higher-priority qualifying networks have been deemed unavailable.
