System and method for providing electronic content or services in a telecommunications system

摘要

A system, method, and node for providing an end-user device with access to an operator's service capability through a third-party provider. The system increases sales of Video-On-Demand (VOD) content stored in a telecommunication operator network by enabling a third-party supplier to retrieve a catalog of the VOD content stored in the operator network, and to sell videos from the retrieved catalog to end-user devices. When the third-party supplier receives a request from a wireless end-user device to purchase a video from the catalog, the third-party supplier notifies the operator network, which then delivers the video to the wireless end-user device. The third-party supplier may pay a fee to the operator network for each video sold.
