Abstract: The content access control system has a content permissions field in the Home Location Register database for each mobile subscriber. The content permissions data are managed by a content manager who has content access responsibility for the mobile subscriber pursuant to an existing management relationship, such as parent-child or employer-employee. The content manager initiates a communication connection to a designated content access control administration system and uniquely identifies the subscriber via their mobile communication device identification and assigns one or more content rating access permissions to each identified subscriber. The content rating permissions comprise a definition of the content that is prohibited and/or permitted by indicating via selecting content ratings or other such code definitions to identify the appropriate content.
