1. A method on a mobile device having one or more applications, a plurality of modes of operation and one or more network connections, each network connection associated with one of one or more network connection profiles and each application associated with one of the plurality of modes of operation, the method comprising:
- associating each of the one or more network connection profiles with at east one of the plurality of modes of operation;
receiving a request from an application of the one or more applications to access a network connection of the one or more network connections;
determine a first mode of operation associated with the application;
determine a network connection profile associated with the network connection;
determining a second mode of operation associated with the network connection profile; and
if the first mode of operation is the same as the second mode of operation, allowing access to the network connection by the application;
wherein each of the one or more network connections define a link between a network element and the mobile device.
