A telecommunications service to be obtained for a user is split into a plurality of service components. A telecommunications terminal determines the most appropriate service provider for each service component; each of the service components is obtained by a corresponding service provider; and the telecommunications terminal invokes the functionality of each service component according to the service to be obtained. This is particularly useful for wireless mobile telecommunications terminals.

Method for obtaining telecommunications services through a telecommunications terminal

A system for powering an electric device with power drawn from a telephone line in a telephone network includes an exchange connecting a telecommunication network to a subscriber apparatus through one telephone line. The system includes a control and feeding device located at the subscriber's premises, connected between the telephone line and subscriber apparatus, and further connected to the electric device to be powered, and a logic control unit in the exchange connected between the subscriber line interface circuit of the telephone line and the telecommunication network, and a bidirectional device connected between the logic control unit and subscriber circuit for recognising and applying to the logic control unit signals received by the subscriber circuit through the telephone line, and for sending to the subscriber circuit control information generated by said logic control unit and relating to the power drawing.
