Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method for differentially routing communication-usage records based on an identity of the base station that served the underlying communication. For example, if the base station is a home carrier base station, then the communication-usage records may be routed to a particular usage-tracking system, whereas, if the base station is an affiliate carrier base station, then the communication-usage records may be routed to a different usage-tracking system. Further, depending on the base station identity, the routing of the communication-usage records may be delayed or may be more immediate.
