Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A communication charging system includes a first measuring device that measures an amount of communication established by a terminal in utilization of a first communication service using a first communication network and a second measuring device that measures an amount of communication established by the terminal in utilization of a second communication service using a second communication network. The first measuring device transmits information regarding the measured amount of communication in the utilization of the first communication service to the second measuring device. The second measuring device associates with information regarding the terminal and stores the information regarding the amount of communication in the utilization of the first communication service, which has been transmitted from the first measuring device, and information regarding the measured amount of communication in the utilization of the second communication service.
