Abstract

The invention relates to the implementation of access service in a telecommunications network comprising an access network, a network providing services, and user-operated terminals (TE1... TE3, PC) connected to the access network. The access service is provided by connecting the user terminal to the network providing the services through interface elements that connect the access network to the network providing the services, and in response to the access service at least one charging record is generated for transmission to the billing means (BS) for billing the access service subscriber for the access service provided. To ensure that reliable and versatile billing can be incorporated into the system in a connectionless network, the start-up of a single access service session is indicated by generating a start-up message for charging purposes at the moment when the user connects to the access network through the terminal, charging records with a digital signature associated with the said access service session are generated and the generated signatures verified. The terminal is given access to the network providing the services, if the said messages are generated in an acceptable manner. The object generating the start-up messages can be modified according to the type of network involved.
