A method and system for provisioning a specific device to receive video
and/or data services from a plurality of service providers at a physical
drop in a digital broadband network serviced by a telecommunication
services provider utilizes a broadcast manager for transmitting an
electronic message in a modified format determined by the
telecommunication services provider, wherein the electronic message
contains information identifying the physical drop associated with the
specific device. A broadband digital terminal, in communication with the
broadcast manager and the physical-port, receives the electronic message,
stores the information, and upon receiving a sign-on request from a
requesting device that is requesting access to one of the video and/or
data services, determines whether the requesting device is authorized to
access the requested video and/or data service based on the stored
information.
