Method and apparatus for classifying femto node users

An apparatus for classifying devices that communicate with a femto node for providing services thereto, comprising:

• a processing system configured to:
• monitor one or more parameters communicated by a device to the femto node;
• assign a classification to the device related to a frequency of using the femto node based in part on the one or more parameters;
• and
• provide services to the device based on the classification;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
