CONTROLLING DATA PATHS WITHIN CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENVIRONMENTS

Technologies are described for controlling the data path (e.g., the end-to-end data path) for cellular network data. For example, a customer of a cellular network that owns or operates cellular devices can use the technologies described herein to control how cellular network data travels through the cellular network, including associated network connections and network equipment, before ultimately reaching the customer's network. In some implementations, the data path is controlled at each of a plurality of stages. For example, control can be applied at the mobile operator stage (e.g., to control which mobile operator the cellular device connects to), at the home subscriber server (HSS) stage, at the proxy stage, and/or at the packet data network gateway (PGW) stage.
