PROCESS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COLLECTION CONTROL TO ENABLE THIRD INFLUENCE ON THE PROVISION OF A SERVICE FOR A USER STATION

摘要

A content provider provides a content provider and service identification to a collection controller. The collection controller retrieves content provider and service specific service provision characteristics from a user subscription database and sets these service provision characteristics as a filter in a service provision control device to be used in the provision of a service from the content provider to the user equipment. Thus, the content provider, through the retrieved content server & service related characteristics from the user subscriber database, can influence the charging and transmission policies used by service provision control device for providing the service.
