<p>The invention relates to a method for arranging debiting in a communication system (1) comprising at least one communication network (9), at least one optional communicant network (4), at least one terminal server (3), and at least one database server (6). The database server (6) communicates with at least one authentication database (11) containing information for user authentication. In the method, a data processing device (2) is connected via the optional communication network (4) to the terminal server (3) of the communication system (1), and the user is authenticated from the authentication database (11). If the user is authenticated, at least one data transmission connection is set up for data transmission between the data processing device (2) and the communication network (9); at least one property is determined for the data transmission connection, and the data transmission connection is monitored to determine the value of at least one debiting parameter. In the method, the data transmission between the terminal server (3) and the database server (6) is examined to determine the moments of setting up and termination of the connection, and the value of said at least one debiting parameter is determined substantially at the moments of setting up and termination of the connection. Thus, the debiting is executed on the basis of the value of said at least one debiting parameter at the moments of setting up and termination of the connection.</p> |
