1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus tostore a set of tags and for each tag, store an associated network address, wherein each tag corresponds to a service and wherein the associated network address corresponds to a service provider of the service,provide a user interface that enables a user to select one of the tags and cause the apparatus to initiate a connection to the network address associated with the tag,estimate the location of the apparatus,communicate with the network to request that the network transmit a communication that automatically alters the network address associated with a tag in dependence on the estimated location, andautomatically alter the network address associated with the tag in response to the communication received from the network.
