1. A method for discovering wireless access: launching a first application in association with a first device;accessing a Wi-Fi scan policy associated with said first application;setting parameters for implementing a plurality of Wi-Fi scans from said first device based on said Wi-Fi scan policy,receiving a request for a Wi-Fi scan from a second application;responsive to determining that said second application is of a first level priority, performing a Wi-Fi scan according to said parameters that are set; andresponsive to determining that said second application is of a second level priority, performing a Wi-Fi scan according to said parameters that are set only after receiving a total number of requests for scans that reach or exceed a threshold. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: setting parameters of said Wi-Fi scan policy upon instantiation of said first application on said first device. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: establishing a peer-to-peer connection over a home channel to facilitate a communication between said first device and a controller device. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: establishing a Wi-Fi connection with an access point over a home channel to facilitate a communication between said first device and a controller device. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said second application is executing in a foreground when of said first level priority, and wherein said second application is executing in a background when of said second level priority. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining a current geo-location of said first device;determining that said first device has previously connected with a first access point over a first channel at said geo-location; andsending a request over said first channel to said first access point requesting a connection. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising: detecting an user interaction with said first device after a threshold period of non-interaction; andperforming a Wi-Fi scan according to said parameters that are set. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said detecting said user interaction comprises: detecting a motion of said first device. 9. A method for discovering wireless access, the method comprising: launching a first application in association with a first device;accessing a Wi-Fi scan policy associated with said first application;setting parameters for implementing a plurality of Wi-Fi scans from said first device based on said Wi-Fi scan policy;partitioning a beacon interval of a first channel into a plurality of discontinuous timing windows, wherein each timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows comprises a corresponding time interval that is less than or equal to a maximum time interval exhibiting acceptable latency when executing said first application based on said Wi-Fi scan policy, and wherein said timing window covers a different time interval over said beacon interval;with reference to a start time, passively scanning said first channel over a first timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows;returning to a home channel for a dwell period to facilitate communication with said first device; andwith reference to said start time, passively scanning said first channel over a second timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows. 10. A method for discovering wireless access, the method comprising: launching a first application in association with a first device;accessing a Wi-Fi scan policy associated with said first application;setting parameters for implementing a plurality of Wi-Fi scans from said first device based on said Wi-Fi scan policy,for a first channel of a predefined list of channels to be scanned, switching to said first channel from a home channel;sending at least one scanning probe, wherein a time interval parameter defines a period over which said first device switches to said first channel, sends said at least one scanning probe, and waits for a response, wherein said time interval exhibits acceptable latency when executing said first application based on said Wi-Fi scan policy; andreturning to said home channel for a dwell period to facilitate communication with said first device. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said sending at least one scanning probe comprises: sending multiple scanning probes in one scan period in succession to trigger a response from any access point listening over said first channel. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising: switching to a second channel from said home channel;sending at least one scanning probe, wherein said time interval parameter defines said period over which said first device switches to said second channel, sends said at least one scanning probe, and waits for a second response, wherein said period exhibits acceptable latency when executing said first application based on said Wi-Fi scan policy; andreturning to said home channel for said dwell period to facilitate communication with said first device. 13. A computer system comprising: a processor; andmemory coupled to said processor and having stored therein instructions that, if executed by said computer system, cause said computer system to execute a method for discovering wireless access comprising: launching a first application in association with a first device;accessing a Wi-Fi scan policy associated with said first application;setting parameters for implementing a plurality of Wi-Fi scans from said first device based on said Wi-Fi scan policy;receiving a request for a Wi-Fi scan from a second application;responsive to determining that said second application is of a first level priority, performing a Wi-Fi scan according to said parameters that are set; andresponsive to determining that said second application is of a second level priority, performing a Wi-Fi scan according to said parameters that are set only after receiving a total number of requests for scans that reach or exceed a threshold. 14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein said method further comprises: partitioning a beacon interval of a first channel into a plurality of discontinuous timing windows, wherein each timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows comprises a corresponding time interval that is less than or equal to a maximum time interval exhibiting acceptable latency when executing said first application based on said Wi-Fi scan policy, and wherein each timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows covers a different time interval over said beacon interval;with reference to a start time, passively scanning said first channel over a first timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows;returning to a home channel for a dwell period to facilitate communication with said first device; andwith reference to said start time, passively scanning said first channel over a second timing window of said plurality of discontinuous timing windows. 15. The computer system of claim 13, wherein said method further comprises: for a first channel of a predefined list of channels to be scanned, switching to said first channel from a home channel;sending at least one scanning probe, wherein a time interval parameter defines a period over which said first device switches to said first channel, sends said at least one scanning probe, and waits for a response, wherein said period exhibits acceptable latency when executing said application based on said Wi-Fi scan policy; andreturning to said home channel for a dwell period to facilitate communication with said first device. 16.
