Embodiment Construction

[0013] The word "example" or "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" or "example" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0014] According to aspects of the invention, social network interactions of mobile client device users may be utilized to authenticate and control access to a wireless hotspot router. In particular, matching the social authentication and profile of the mobile client device to the shared wireless hotspot router can be used to determine whether access should be granted and if so, what level of service. For example, if the phone number of the client mobile device is in the contact list of the wireless hotspot router, it may imply that some level of access should be granted. On the other hand, if the mobile client device user is a friend on a social network associated with the owner of the wireless hotspot router, the...
