1. A method of monitoring zone statuses for a plurality of mobile radio terminals comprising the steps of:
providing a plurality of zones to a plurality of mobile radio terminals, each zone having a zone profile; storing each zone profile; receiving a message comprising a zone status update from at least one of the plurality of mobile radio terminals, wherein a zone status is determined by measuring radio signal parameters and comparing the radio signal parameters with at least one zone profile; and if the zone status has changed, transmitting content associated with the zone to a mobile radio terminal; wherein providing the plurality of zones comprises:
associating a plurality of zones with at least one mobile radio terminal associated with a subscriber based on a subscriber profile;provisioning the plurality of zones to the at least one mobile radio terminal; andmaking available to the subscriber a subset of the plurality of zones responsive to a determination that there is insufficient space available for all of the plurality of zones on the at least one mobile radio terminal.
