13. A method for determining a path of data traffic based on a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address, the destination IP address being either private or public, the method comprising:
receiving, at a managed service platform, a subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address;
determining, at the managed service platform, whether the subscribed device identifier is registered;
determining, at the managed service platform, whether the destination IP address is registered;
prompting a subscriber of the subscribed device, at a telecommunications endpoint associated with the subscribed device identifier, to register the endpoint, based on a determination that the subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address are unregistered, and registering the subscribed device identifier based on information received from the telecommunications endpoint;
routing the data traffic to a private network resource based on a determination that the subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address are registered;
routing, the data traffic to a public Internet based on a determination the subscribed device identifier is registered and the destination IP address is unregistered; and
interconnecting directly with a mobile network operator (MNO) network, wherein the MNO network provisions a unique Access Point Name that is mapped to at least one interconnection point in the private network and is updated on each participating subscribed telecommunications endpoint.
