1. A multiple wireless network service system comprising:
- one or more proxy servers, each coupled between an Internet network and at least one of a first wireless provider access network and a second wireless provider access network;
a service controller to facilitate configuration of one or more elements in each of the first and second wireless provider access networks to allow each of an identified plurality of wireless end-user devices, operable on both the first and second wireless provider access networks, to connect through the wireless provider access networks to the one or more proxy servers; and
a service processor on each of the plurality of wireless end-user devices, each service processor configured to, when that device is connected to the first wireless provider access network and when that device is connected to the second wireless provider access network, communicate data traffic for a given Internet data service with the one or more proxy servers;
the service controller further configured to provide a service policy to the one or more proxy servers to control the use of the given Internet data service by each of the wireless end-user devices; and

Abstract
A multiple wireless network service system allows a given Internet data service, according to a service policy, to be accessed by each of a plurality of wireless end-user devices from either of two wireless provider access networks. Proxy servers provide the data service according to the policy, as supplied by a service controller. The service controller facilitates the configuration of elements in the access networks to allow the devices to connect through either access network to the proxy servers. A service processor on each of the devices communicates data traffic for the data service with the proxy servers.
