1. A wireless end-user device comprising:
a wireless wide area network (WWAN) modem configured to communicate data with a WWAN when a connection is established between the wireless end-user device and the WWAN;
a memory storing a WWAN network access policy including one or more first policy instructions associated with a first software application of a plurality of software applications resident on the wireless end-user device; and
one or more processors configured to:
provide, using the WWAN modem, one or more network data traffic flows between the wireless end-user device and the WWAN;
associate each of the one or more of the plurality of software applications with a respective one of the one or more network data traffic flows between the wireless end-user device and the WWAN, including associating the first software application with a first one of the one or more network data traffic flows; and
when (i) the wireless end-user device communicates or attempts to communicate data over the WWAN, and (ii) the first software application is associated with the first one of the one or more network data traffic flows, apply the one or more first policy instructions associated with the first software application to the first one of the one or more network data traffic flows.
