A system provides interactive control of broadband services. There are
today systems which offer distributive services, for instance analog
cable-TV, analog satellites and acting terrestrial TV-networks. A
paradigm shift, however, has been initiated in connection with that
digital transmissions have started, which make possible a more spectrum
efficient transmission. This means, for instance, that a broadband
service such as digital transmission of video channels can be developed
by making it interactive. One solution can be to use the GSM-system. For
example, services which require low capacity in uplink can utilize the
SMS-function is GSM. At larger demand of bandwidth GSM's data services
can be utilized, which however prevents calls when the telephone is used
for interactive communication. The invention solves this problem by
interactive traffic between the transmitting and receiving equipment
being managed by an interactive center (IC) which is arranged to execute
wanted broadband service. IC in addition is in connection with a
distributive centre (DC) for distribution of the broadband signals out on
the telecommunications network.
