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 a single point of contact and bill. Another not insignificant benefit is that purchasing multiple services from one provider can be advantageous to 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.
