Abstract
Embodiments for automated content delivery to high-speed data service client using redirection of IP service flows independent of physical media delivery mechanisms add, by a backend environment, an Internet gateway media access control (MAC) address to a content triggered service; send, by the backend environment, a request to a re-direct system for the Internet gateway MAC address to be added to a re-direct list; route, by the backend environment, all Internet traffic to the content playback system; display, by the content playback system, content to a subscribing user until a quota is achieved; and instruct the re-direct system to remove the Internet gateway MAC address from the re-direct list, thereby enabling user devices operatively coupled to the Internet gateway unfettered, monitored Internet access; set a usage threshold; and, in response to the usage threshold expiring, instruct the re-direct system to add the Internet gateway MAC address to the re-direct list.
