1. A method of handing over from a first network to a second network, comprising:
- operating a mobile terminal via a first network;
evaluating the handing over based on a state of an application and at least one criteria of either said first network or a second network, when the application is running on the mobile terminal;
initiating a trigger that causes a handover from said first network to said second network so that said mobile terminal operates via said second network.
