Abstract
A system (SP) to provide a service to a user of a first terminal (T ) of a telecommunication network includes a retriever (RET) to retrieve from storage, in accordance with a coverage area (Ai), a location information (LOC-A ) that is associated by the information storage with the coverage area (Ai). The coverage area (A ) is one of a set of coverage area's (A , A , A , A , A , A ) of the universal mobile telecommunication system. Each one (A ) of the coverage areas (A , A , A , A , A , A ) is, respectively, associated with a location information (LOC-A ) of a set of location information (LOC-A , LOC-A , LOC-A , LOC-A , LOC-A , LOC-A ). In the event the terminal (T ) is located within such a coverage area (A ), the first terminal (T ) is enabled to access the predefined universal mobile telecommunication service. The system further includes a first determiner (DET ) adapted to select, upon receiving an initiation signal (INIT) from the system, a selected location information (LOC-A ) based upon predefined rules and upon one or more location information (LOC-A , LOC-A ) that are retrieved from storage. The first determiner (DET ) furthermore provides the selected location information (LOC-A ) to forwarder (FORW) which is coupled to the retriever (RET). The forwarder (FORW) is enabled to forward the selected location information (LOC-A ) to the user. Thereby, the transportation of the first terminal (T ) to the selected coverage area (A ) according to the forwarded selected location.
