An apparatus for restricting execution of software is disclosed. The apparatus includes a telecommunication device configured to communicate with a wireless device (e.g., an RFID device) using a first wireless communication protocol. The telecommunication device is configured to determine whether or not the telecommunication device is located in an authorized wireless environment, based on wireless devices detected by the telecommunication device. The telecommunication device is also configured to execute a program in response to determining that it is located in an authorized wireless environment. Conversely, the telecommunication device is also configured to inhibit execution of the program in response to determining that it is not located in an authorized wireless environment.
