13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon, the computer executable instructions representing a relocatable device in a plurality of networks and being executable in any one of said plurality of networks, the computer executable instructions implementing a method comprising:
-
interfacing with the relocatable device; interfacing with a network service provider entity of a network of said plurality of networks within which the computer executable instructions reside; storing a negotiating basis in respect of the relocatable device; negotiating with the network of said plurality of networks within which the computer executable instructions reside, through the network service provider entity, services on behalf of the relocatable device using the negotiating basis, the computer executable instructions being adapted to be relocated or replicated in another of said plurality of networks. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A network node of a network, the network node comprising:
-
a processor and a memory, the memory having stored thereon a relocatable software entity run-time engine; the network node being adapted to receive a software entity for a relocatable device when the relocatable device has moved or will move its point of attachment to be with the network, and to run the software entity on the relocatable software entity run-time engine, the network node being adapted to negotiate services for the relocatable device with the software entity. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method in a network node of a network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a relocatable or replicable software entity for a relocatable device when the relocatable device has moved or will move its point of attachment to be with the network; running the software entity; and negotiating services for the relocatable device with the software entity.
