Abstract:
A method for a tethered device to select an external data network includes selecting a desired data network at the tethered device through an associated Access Point Name; sending the associated Access Point Name to a broadband device via a control message over a collaboration interface with the broadband device; and sending data to the broadband device destined for the desired data network over the collaboration interface, wherein the broadband device is configured to send the data to the desired data network based on the associated Access Point Name.
