Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to access network connectivity information based on predicted future locations of wireless terminals are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves predicting at least one future location of a wireless terminal. The example method also involves requesting at least first and second network connectivity information sets for connecting to at least one access network providing wireless communication coverage at the at least one future location. The first network connectivity information is associated with a first geographic location, and the second network connectivity information is associated with a second geographic location.
