A system and method for selecting a wireless serving node include the capability to receive a wireless registration request at a wireless serving node and to determine whether the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the registration request. The system and method also include the capability to generate a wireless session inquiry if the serving node is not managing a wireless session associated with the registration request, to receive a wireless session response containing a serving node identifier, and to generate a wireless registration response containing the serving node identifier.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for enlisting one or more end users in a network environment in which selection of a wireless serving node occurs, comprising: enlisting one or more end users in a billing plan associated with network communications; generating a bill associated with one or more of the end users, the bill being based on the billing plan; and facilitating network communications for one or more of the end users in response to the end users being enlisted in the billing plan, whereby the network communications includes a protocol that comprises: receiving a wireless registration request associated with a wireless serving node, wherein a determination is made as to whether the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the registration request; and generating a wireless session inquiry for a group of associated wireless serving nodes if the serving node is not managing a wireless session associated with the registration request, wherein a wireless session response, which contains a serving node identifier, is received and a wireless registration response containing the serving node identifier is subsequently generated, and wherein the time elapsed since generating the wireless session inquiry is determined, whereby the establishment of a wireless session is initiated if a predetermined amount of time has elapsed. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining whether the registration request is associated with an active wireless session; and initiating the establishment of a wireless session if the registration request is not associated with an active wireless session. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein determining whether the registration request is associated with an active wireless session comprises examining a Mobility Event Indication in the registration request. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating a wireless registration response indicating acceptance of the registration request if the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the registration request. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: allocating bandwidth to one or more of the end users based on the billing plan. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the registration request comprises searching a table containing information regarding wireless sessions being managed by the serving node. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the wireless session inquiry and the wireless session response comprise a multicast message. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless session inquiry comprises an International Mobile Subscriber Identifier or a Network Access Identifier. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the registration response containing the serving node identifier comprises a wireless registration response indicating denial of the registration request. 10. A method for enlisting one or more end users in a network environment in which selection of a wireless serving node occurs, comprising: enlisting one or more end users in a billing plan associated with network communications; generating a bill associated with one or more of the end users, the bill being based on the billing plan; and facilitating network communications for one or more of the end users in response to the end users being enlisted in the billing plan, whereby the network communications includes a protocol that comprises: receiving a wireless session inquiry associated with a wireless serving node; determining whether the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the session inquiry; generating a wireless session response containing an identifier for the serving node if the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the session inquiry; determining whether the serving node is associated with a network from which the session inquiry originated; and generating a wireless session response containing an identifier for the serving node only if the serving node is associated with the network from which the session inquiry originated. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: receiving a wireless registration request associated with the session response; and generating a wireless registration response indicating acceptance of the registration request. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein determining whether the serving node is associated with a network from which the session inquiry originated comprises examining a network identifier in the inquiry. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the network identifier comprises a Network Access Identifier. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein at least one of the session inquiry and the session response comprise a multicast message. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein determining whether the serving node is managing a wireless session associated with the session inquiry comprises searching a table containing information regarding wireless sessions being managed by the serving node. 16. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining the time elapsed since receiving the wireless session inquiry; and generating a second wireless session inquiry if a predetermined amount of time has elapsed, the second wireless inquiry directed to a different group of serving nodes than the first wireless session inquiry. 17. The method of claim 10, further comprising: determining whether a wireless session response associated with the second session inquiry has been received; and relaying the session response to the group of serving nodes from which the first session inquiry originated if the session response has been received. 18. A method for enlisting one or more end users in a network environment in which selection of a wireless serving node occurs, comprising: enlisting one or more end users in a billing plan associated with network communications; generating a bill associated with one or more of the end users, the bill being based on the billing plan; and facilitating network communications for one or more of the end users in response to the end users being enlisted in the billing plan, whereby the network communications includes a protocol that comprises: detecting the presence of a mobile unit; determining an identifier for a wireless serving node that could potentially service the mobile unit; generating a wireless registration request containing the identifier; receiving a wireless registration response; determining whether the registration response indicates that the registration request is accepted; determining whether the registration response contains a wireless serving node identifier if the registration response does not indicate that the registration request is accepted; and generating, if the registration response does not indicate that the registration request is accepted and contains a wireless serving node identifier, a wireless registration request containing the identifier, wherein determining an identifier for a wireless serving node that could potentially service the mobile unit comprises analyzing an identifier of the mobile unit. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising: generating a message regarding the wireless session if the registration request is accepted. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein the registration response containing the wireless serving node identifier indicates that the registration request is denied.
