Abstract

A method for enabling access to information services such as subscription television, by subscribers. Information services such as television or radio transmissions are provided to a receiver device over a first communication channel such as a satellite, terrestrial or cable broadcast network. Communication between the receiver device and one or more mobile communication devices is established using a local, short range, transient wireless network defining a second communication channel. The receiver device accesses control data stored on said one or more mobile communication devices within the local wireless network, the access control data enabling access to one or more information services received over the first communication channel.
