    Abstract: A product distribution network enables a user to easily order remote products. The user may encounter an advertisement and send a Product Request Message (PRM), identifying the advertiser or the product, to a service provider. The service provider may then charge a fixed-rate premium for the message and instruct a product provider to deliver the product. In one embodiment, a user may hear a song on the radio and send a short messaging service (SMS) text message to a mobile phone service provider. The SMS message may include the call letters of the radio station. The service provider may then access the radio station's play list to identify the song currently playing. The service provider instructs an online music service to deliver the song to the user. The user is then charged a fixed premium rate for the text message, which is divided appropriately among the parties.
