1. A method comprising:

  • wirelessly broadcasting a virtual Network Service Provider (NSP) to provide wireless activation of one or more Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) associated with a NSP;

    directing a mobile station (MS) connected to the virtual NSP to a subscription portal that presents to a user of the MS the one or more MVNOs for selection; and

    provisioning the MS with configuration parameters for a selected MVNO to allow connection of the MS with the selected MVNO, wherein said provisioning the MS indicates the activation of the selected MVNO, but not the virtual NSP, in order to allow a user of the MS to subsequently activate one or more MVNOs other than the selected MVNO using the virtual NSP.
