Abstract: A management apparatus is configured to determine whether or not distribution of status information representing a wireless communication status in a public wireless system including at least one wireless station that executes wireless communication with a wireless terminal is necessary. The distribution is a distribution to a mobile communication terminal via a mobile communication system that provides a mobile communication service to the mobile communication terminal. The management apparatus is configured to transmit, when it is determined that the distribution is necessary, a request to the mobile communication system to set a dedicated fixed channel in a public communication network used in the mobile communication system. The dedicated fixed channel is fixed exclusively for the public wireless system.
