A system and method for providing access and/or roaming features on a network system. The network system includes a plurality of wireless and/or wired access points coupled to a network. Access points (APs) for the network may be widely distributed in various facilities, such as airports, mass-transit stations, and various businesses. The network may couple to a wide area network, such as the Internet. In one embodiment, a portable computing device (PCD) of a user may store identification information which uniquely indicates a network provider of a plurality of possible network providers. The identification information may also or instead indicate an access or privilege level of the user. Each of the access points are operable to “listen for” or detect identification information associated with numerous different providers. When the access point receives the identification information from a PCD of a user, the access point may determine the appropriate network provider for the portable computing device using the identification information. Network access may then be provided to the portable computing device through the determined network provider. Thus the network system is useable by subscribers of each of the plurality of possible network providers, thereby enabling subscribers to “roam” on various wireless networks, including networks maintained by other providers. The access information may also include an access level which indicates the user's access or privilege level. Thus, the local network may provide various local resources which are available to users having a first access level, and users with a second access level may not be entitled to view or utilize these network resources on the network, but may be simply provided external Internet access.
1.

1. A method comprising: providing, at a wireless access point, an end-user computing device with access to a network, wherein a cost for providing the access to the network is reduced based on an account associated with an incentive program, and wherein the account is associated with a user of the end-user computing device; andtransmitting, from the wireless access point, data to the end-user computing device to present a visual display at the end-user computing device, wherein the visual display includes an advertisement provided by a particular entity. 2. A method comprising: receiving, at a wireless access point, information from an end-user computing device to obtain access to a network;providing, at the wireless access point, the end-user computing device with access to the network, wherein a cost for providing the access to the network is reduced based at least in part on an account associated with an incentive program, and wherein the account is associated with a user of the end-user computing device; andtransmitting, from the wireless access point, data to the end-user computing device to present a visual display at the end-user computing device, wherein the visual display includes one or more advertisements provided by a particular entity. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the particular entity is distinct from a provider of the wireless access point. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein a reduction of the cost is determined by the particular entity. 5. The method of claim 2, further comprising determining a privilege level of the access to the network provided to the end-user computing device based on a geographic location associated with the end-user computing device. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more advertisements are determined based on the incentive program associated with the account. 7. The method of claim 2, wherein the information indicates the user of the end-user computing device is associated with the account. 8. The method of claim 2, wherein the incentive program is associated with a business. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the business provides rewards points to the account. 10. A system comprising: a processor; anda memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: determining, at a wireless access point, a privilege level of access to a network provided to an end-user computing device based on a geographic location associated with the end-user computing device;providing, at the wireless access point, the end-user computing device with access to the network; andtransmitting, from the wireless access point, data to the end-user computing device to present a visual display at the end-user computing device, wherein the visual display includes an advertisement provided by a particular entity. 11. A system comprising: a processor; anda memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving, at a wireless access point, information from an end-user computing device to obtain access to a network;determining a privilege level of the access to the network provided to the end-user computing device based on a geographic location associated with the end-user computing device;providing, at the wireless access point, the end-user computing device with access to the network; andtransmitting, from the wireless access point, data to the end-user computing device to present a visual display at the end-user computing device, wherein the visual display includes one or more advertisements provided by a particular entity. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the particular entity is distinct from a provider of the wireless access point. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein a cost for providing the access to the network is reduced based at least in part on an account associated with an incentive program, and wherein the account is associated with a user of the end-user computing device. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the information indicates the user of the end-user computing device is associated with the account. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the incentive program is associated with a business. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the business provides rewards points to the account. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein a reduction of the cost is determined by a particular entity. 18. The system of claim 13, wherein the advertisements are determined based on the incentive program associated with the account. 19. A non-transitory computer readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving, at a wireless access point, information from an end-user computing device to obtain access to a network;providing, at the wireless access point, the end-user computing device with access to the network, wherein a cost for providing the access to the network is reduced based at least in part on an account associated with an incentive program, and wherein the account is associated with a user of the end-user computing device; andtransmitting, from the wireless access point, data to the end-user computing device to present a visual display at the end-user computing device, wherein the visual display includes one or more advertisements provided by a particular entity. 20. The non-transitory computer readable storage device of claim 19, wherein the operations further comprise determining a privilege level of the access to the network provided to the end-user computing device based on a geographic location associated with the end-user computing device.
