1. A method for managing subscriber services in a converged network, comprising:
identifying, at a Wi-Fi controller configured to manage a plurality of service provider wireless access points (WAPs) providing network services of a service provider to user equipment (UE) connected thereto, a reduced Quality of Service (QoS) level of the network services provided to the UE via a WAP; and
transmitting, from the Wi-Fi controller toward a mobility management entity (MME) configured to manage a plurality of service provider mobile network nodes, a message identifying UE associated with the reduced QoS level and corresponding subscriber profile information, said message configured to cause the MME to connect the UE to a proximate service provider mobile network node.
