Process, internet access device, exchange and charging device for charging for internet services

摘要

The invention relates to a process, an Internet access device (POP), a charging device (ACC) and an exchange (SSP) for charging for Internet services by the Internet access device via which, by means of a terminal (TERA) connected to a telephone-telecommunications network (PSTN), a subscriber (SUBA) accesses the Internet (INT) with the aid of the telecommunications network. The terminal now establishes a connection to the access device via the telecommunications network, and the telecommunications network sends the access device a subscriber number assigned to the terminal. The terminal sends the access device a service request message which the access device forwards to an Internet service device (CO1, CO2) for the provision of the service. The access device determines a charge claim indicating charges for the provision of the service an sends a charging device (ACC) of the telecommunications network a charge message containing the subscriber number of the subscriber and an indication of the charges claimed in the charge claim for the use of the requested service. The charging device debits the indicated charges to an account of the subscriber.
