Summary:In an embodiment, a subordinate mobile communication device (SMCD) (200; 400) receives (500A; 700; 800A) a content access profile from a dispatcher. The content access profile includes (i) proxy server selection criteria (500A; 800A) to facilitate the SMCD to select between a plurality of proxy servers based on a current transport mechanism type (e.g., WiFi, 3G, Satellite, etc.), each of the plurality of proxy servers being configured by the dispatcher to provide different degrees of support for Internet-based services to the SMCD, and/or (ii) a set of Internet-based service access rules (700; 800A) to facilitate the SMCD to independently determine whether to grant or deny access by the SMCD to Internet-based services based on the current transport mechanism type of a connection between the SMCD and an access network. The SMCD determines (505A; 605; 705; 725; 805A; 805B) its current transport mechanism type and uses the content access profile to selectively engage (515A, 525A; 615, 625; 715; 735; 815B; 820B, 830B) with a given Internet-based service.
