Controlling availability of access networks based on awareness of user location

A system, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• identifying a first location serviceable by a private access network;
• identifying a second location of a user;
• comparing the first location to the second location to obtain a comparison result;
• and
• controlling, according to the comparison result, activation of the private access network between an active state in which the private access network is available for network service at the first location and an inactive state in which the private access network is unavailable for service at the first location.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• determining a first location serviceable by a private access network;
• determining an indication of a second location of a user;
• comparing the first location to the second location to obtain a comparison result;
• and
• controlling, according to the comparison result, activation of the private access network between an active state in which the private access network is available for network service at the first location and an inactive state in which the private access network is unavailable for service at the first location.
