A user's access patterns are accounted for in deciding to switch between a plurality of wireless networks 204, 206. A method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes monitoring a location of a wireless communication device 202 Within a region serviced by a first wireless communication network 204 and second region serviced by a second wireless communication network 206. The first and second region have an overlapping region which could be serviced by both networks. The future location of the wireless communication device 202 within the first and second regions is predicted based on the monitoring of the previous locations of the wireless communication device 202. When the wireless communication device 202 is detected as being within the overlapping region, the system determines whether to transfer an active connection between the wireless communication device 202 and one of the networks to the other network. In one embodiment, past patterns of usage of the wireless communication 202 device within the first and second region are identified and used to predict a future location based on the past pattern. In another embodiment, a calender of predetermined time-location associations is input into a controller 203 associated with the wireless communication device 202 and the prediction is based on an actual location and current time being compared with the values input into the calender.

A user's access patterns are accounted for in deciding to switch between a plurality of wireless networks 204, 206. A method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes monitoring a location of a wireless communication device 202 Within a region serviced by a first wireless communication network 204 and second region serviced by a second wireless communication network 206. The first and second region have an overlapping region which could be serviced by both networks. The future location of the wireless communication device 202 within the first and second regions is predicted based on the monitoring of the previous locations of the wireless communication device 202. When the wireless communication device 202 is detected as being within the overlapping region, the system determines whether to transfer an active connection between the wireless communication device 202 and one of the networks to the other network. In one embodiment, past patterns of usage of the wireless communication 202 device within the first and second region are identified and used to predict a future location based on the past pattern. In another embodiment, a calender of predetermined time-location associations is input into a controller 203 associated with the wireless communication device 202 and the prediction is based on an actual location and current time being compared with the values input into the calender. nd further having an installation structure for positioning and holding the first and second optical fibers by means of a V-shaped groove formed thereon, the installation structure comprising: a positioning section on the substrate for positioning the first and second optical fibers such that optical axes of the first and second optical fibers coincide with each other, the positioning section having a first V-shaped groove with a groove width and a groove depth for allowing an outer periphery of the ferrule of each of the first and second optical fibers to have contact therewith; first and second alignment fixing sections on the substrate for fixing the first and second, optical fibers, respectively, each of the first and second alignment fixing sections having: a V-shaped cross-section at a first end thereof in communication with and having substantially the same groove width and groove depth of the first groove; a U-shaped cross-section at a second end opposed to the first end, the second groove having a substantially flat floor extending from the first end to the second end; walls tapering from the second groove at the second opposed end to the first groove; the second groove at the second opposed end having a greater width and depth than the first groove; such that the outer periphery of the ferrule of a corresponding optical fiber does not contact the walls and floor of the second groove; wherein the installation structure mates with a pressing plate, the pressing plate including a pressing plate groove, the pressing plate being shaped substantially the same as the first groove, and walls defining the pressing plate groove being effective to press the optical fiber in the positioning section; and wherein the alignment fixing sections are enabled to receive a material when the installation structure and the pressing plate press the optical fibers. 14. The ferrule-type connector according to claim 13, wherein the first and second optical fibers are fixed in the first and second alignment fixing sections with the material, respectively. 15. The ferrule-type connector according to claim 13, wherein the pressing plate is fixedly mounted on one surface of the substrate so as to cover an opening of the first groove of the substrate to press the first and second optical fibers in the positioning se
