• receiving, at a user equipment, a network selection policy, wherein the network selection policy indicates whether the user equipment is allowed to or inhibited from operating in accordance with a local service network;
• allowing, at the user equipment when the received network selection policy indicates an allowance, transmission via the local service network;
• and
• inhibiting, at the user equipment when the received network selection policy indicates an inhibition, transmission via the local service network.

• 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 to perform at least the following:
• receive, at the apparatus, a network selection policy, wherein the network selection policy indicates whether the apparatus is allowed to or inhibited from operating in accordance with a local service network;
• allow, at the apparatus when the received network selection policy indicates an allowance, transmission via the local service network;
• and
• inhibit, at the apparatus when the received network selection policy indicates an inhibition, transmission via the local service network.
