Yes, this is a good point, thanks for bringing it up! Here's a
question for you: do you expect some mechanism which allows you
to control data traffic routing, or is the requirement simply that
it is not hard-bound to the AAA routing? Currently, there is no
user-level way to control routing (and probably shouldn't be). But
access, intermediate, and home networks can control routing to
an extent e.g. through mandatory tunneling.

Hmm... wouldn't visa.com then be your home network, and the selected
ISP just an access (or intermediate) network?
