A method comprising:
- causing obtainment, via a first wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a first type, from a single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via the first wireless access technology, wherein said single logical entity provides a source of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via each of a plurality of wireless access technologies;
- causing obtainment, via the first wireless access technology via the wireless interface of the first type, from said single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via a second wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a second type, wherein the wireless interface of the second type is different than the wireless interface of the first type;
- and
- causing obtainment, via the first wireless access technology via the wireless interface of the first type, from said single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via a third wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a third type, wherein the wireless interface of the third type is different than the wireless interface of the first type and different from the wireless interface of the second type.

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- cause obtainment, via a first wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a first type, from a single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to the network via the first wireless access technology, wherein said single logical entity provides a source of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via each of a plurality of wireless access technologies;
- cause obtainment, via the first wireless access technology via the wireless interface of the first type, from said single logical entity via said first wireless access technology, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via a second wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a second type, wherein the wireless interface of the second type is different than the wireless interface of the first type;
- and
- cause obtainment, via the first wireless access technology via the wireless interface of the first type, from said single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via a third wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a third type, wherein the wireless interface of the third type is different than the wireless interface of the first type and different from the wireless interface of the second type.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code, which when loaded onto an apparatus is configured to cause the apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- causing obtainment, via a first wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a first type, from a single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via the first wireless access technology, wherein said single logical entity provides a source of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via each of a plurality of wireless access technologies;
- causing obtainment, via the first wireless access technology via the wireless interface of the first type, from said single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via a second wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a second type, wherein the wireless interface of the second type is different than the wireless interface of the first type;
- and
- causing obtainment, via the first wireless access technology via the wireless interface of the first type, from said single logical entity, of subscriber information relating to controlling access to a network via a third wireless access technology via a wireless interface of a third type, wherein the wireless interface of the third type is different than the wireless interface of the first type and different from the wireless interface of the second type.
