Abstract

The present invention is a method for provisioning services to a terminal (UE), which performs communication via at least one communication network (NW1, NW2), each network being equipped with at least one service processing entity (NW1_PE1, NW1_PE2, NW2_PE1, NW2_PE2). The method comprises the steps of: requesting, by the terminal, a specified service to be at the disposition of the requesting terminal, analyzing the request by an analyzing entity associated with the at least one communication network, deciding, by the analyzing entity, that the requested specified service is associated to a specific one of the communication networks, and in response to the decision, routing communication messages associated with the terminal via the analyzing entity to the specified service processing entity within the specified communication network.
