Abstract
Methods, devices, systems and computer program products are provided for controlling access to services, content, applications and the like on a wireless communication device. In one aspect, wireless communication device-wide access control is provided such that unified access control may exist on the device; providing access control to more than one, and in some instances all, of the services and/or applications that are accessible on the device. Additionally, aspects provide for limiting or prohibiting access based on numerous access control factors, such as content type, service type, location of the device, time or any other device environmental characteristic. The methods, devices, systems and computer program products for content access control may be executed on the wireless communication device or they may be executed within the wireless network.
