A system and method are described herein for enabling end-users of mobile terminals to exchange messages that are associated with a specific geographical location. In one embodiment, a first end-user can use their mobile terminal to submit a message (text, voice, video . . . ) about a specific piece of art located in a museum. Then, a second end-user can use their mobile terminal to retrieve the message (which was previously provided by the first end-user) that is associated with the specific piece of art while they are located in the museum.

Location based system and method for exchanging videos or notes

A processing a device (D), for a network equipment element (RP) of a communication network equipped with an accounting and billing management module, includes processing means (MT) which are tasked, firstly, to determine, from values representing selected local parameters of their equipment element (RP) and/or of selected traffic streams received by this equipment element (RP), associated with the identifier of a customer in the network, usage data concerning the resources of the network corresponding to said customer identifier, and secondly, to transmit these usage data, and the identifier associated with them, to the accounting and billing management module for a possible billing of the customer designated by this identifier.
