1. A method for network provisioning, comprising:
receiving, from an access terminal that provides access to an access network operated by a first organization, an indication of a connection request originating from a device and identifying the device using a media access control (MAC) address;
generating, based on receiving the indication of the connection request, a globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with the MAC address, wherein the connection request is redirected with the GUID to a service center that is operated by a second organization that is separate from the first organization;
receiving, from the service center based on the redirected connection request, an indication of a service level for the device, the indication of the service level identifying the device based on the GUID; and
configuring, based on receiving the indication of the service level, the access network to provide network service to the device at the service level indicated by the service center.
