physical servers are involved. Sometimes
transactions may take place between different
companies’ servers.
The actual content may be put on one server, the
downloading server. The content can be reached,
for example, through references from one or many
other servers, the publishing servers. The content
creator puts his or her content on the downloading
server through an interface to the content provider.
The user navigates to the publishing server and
selects the content, or rather a link to or description
of the content. The content is then downloaded
from the actual downloading server.
When content is downloaded to the device,
operators generate revenues from the user via, for
example, their billing system. Operators might in
their turn be billed for rights by the content
aggregator, content provider or directly by the
content creator.
Figure 2. The flow of revenues and content. The content is viewed and selected from a publishing server
and downloaded to the mobile phone from a downloading server. The revenue is in this case collected
from the user by the operator and transferred to the content creator via the content aggregator.
