Provider
A provider, literally translated, is a supplier or service provider. It usually refers to a provider of digital services. Services are purchased on a subscription basis.
Different types of providers:
Combined services with one provider
Often you can go to one provider for several services. The added value is having one point of contact and invoice. Another not unimportant advantage is that buying multiple services from one provider can be advantageous for the subscriber.
With the rise of combined packages(triple play and even quadruple play), the consumer markets for telecom, Internet subscriptions and television connections are highly intertwined.
