Systems, methods, and computer program products for providing services,
and for enabling changes in the services, are described herein. The
services are, for example, continuous, recurring, and/or periodic, and
include utility service, periodical delivery service, insurance, etc.,
and combinations thereof. Customers can issue instructions to service
providers (over the Internet, for example) to modify services being
provided to the customer. Upon receipt of those instructions, a
corresponding service provider takes appropriate action to adjust the
service in accordance with the instructions. Customers may also define
Service Adjustment Triggers, which specify one or more conditions and one
or more changes to the service. Occurrence of the conditions results in
implementation of the changes.
