ABSTRACT:
Regulating network access includes receiving a request for network access for a user identity and identifying a type of connection that the user identity seeks to leverage if granted the network access requested. The user identity for which the request is submitted is identified. One or more other user identities that are associated with the user identity are identified. The other user identities that are identified as being associated with the user identity and that have network access contemporaneously with the received request are determined. The types of connections used to obtain network access by the other user identities that are identified as being associated with user identity and determined to have network access are determined. A determination is made whether to grant the user identity the network access requested based on the type of connections used by the other user identities that are identified as being associated with the user identity and determined to have network access.
