Abstract

A system and method are provided for real time subscriber billing in a standard network routing path.
Account information is stored in a channel monitor or other storage means for at least one subscriber. A determination is made, based on the account information, whether the subscriber has a sufficient balance for a desired service.
Service is authorized or denied to the subscriber based on the determination and billing data is transmitted to a business management system as appropriate.
