Determining suitability of an access network

A method comprising:

• communicating between one or more transceivers of a mobile terminal and the first network by forming connections with the access networks;
• accessing a database recording motion information relating to motion of connection points of the wireless access networks and geographical location information relating to the connection points of the wireless access networks, the motion information comprising whether the connection points are moving, a speed at which the connections points are moving, and a direction in which the connection points are moving, the geographical location information in said database comprising locations measured and contributed by the mobile terminal and one or more additional mobile terminals, the processing apparatus being configured to dynamically record a geographical position of the mobile terminal;
• and
• determining one of the wireless access networks for use by the mobile terminal in accessing the first network based on the motion information and the geographical location information accessed from said database relating to one or more of the wireless access networks, the determining further comprising, if the mobile terminal is moving, determining the one of the wireless access networks for use by the mobile terminal in accessing the first network based on the connection points moving in a similar direction and speed as the mobile terminal.

A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution on a mobile terminal, perform operations comprising:

• communicating with a first network by forming connections with wireless access networks using one or more transceivers of the mobile terminal;
• accessing a database recording motion information relating to motion of connection points of the wireless access networks and geographical location information relating to the connection points of the wireless access networks, the motion information comprising whether the connection points are moving, a speed at which the connections points are moving, and a direction in which the connection points are moving, the geographical location information in said database comprising locations measured and contributed by the mobile terminal and one or more additional mobile terminals, the processing apparatus being configured to dynamically record a geographical position of the mobile terminal;
• and
• determining one of the wireless access networks for use in accessing the first network based on the motion information and the geographical location information accessed from said database relating to one or more of the wireless access networks, the determining further comprising, if the mobile terminal is moving, determining the one of the wireless access networks for use in accessing the first network based on the connection points moving in a similar direction and speed as the mobile terminal.
