1. A method performed by one or more network components in a macro network, the method comprising:
- receiving instructions for provisioning a personal access point based on a message originating from an access terminal;
identifying the access terminal based on the instructions;
determining whether the access terminal is authorized to receive services offered by a network operator;
if the access terminal is not authorized to receive the services, disregarding the instructions; and
if the access terminal is authorized to receive the services;
adjusting the instructions to produce adjusted instructions that comply with one or more requirements of the macro network; and
implementing requirements of the adjusted instructions on the personal access point to provision the personal access point, the implementing comprising transmitting, to the personal access point from a network component, data to cause an alteration in one or more access parameters of the personal access point.
