Abstract: A method for providing Internet access to a customer of a service provider wherein the service provider takes over the costs for the customer's Internet use. The method includes the customer's user equipment generating a service start notification message to a server of the service provider in response to the customer agreeing to the service and commencement of use of the service. The service start notification message triggers sending a query to a database of the service provider containing customer data, and confirming the customer has access rights for getting Internet access at the service provider's expenses. The service provider generates and sends out a request message to the mobile communication provider of the customer and requests an intermediate change of the customer's mobile communication contract so the costs for loading Internet data on the customer's user equipment will be temporarily charged to the service provider rather than the customer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a driving maneuver for creating a gap in the traffic flow, which is multiple lanes wide, involving a first vehicle and a plurality of second vehicles. The first vehicle, which requests the gap in the traffic flow periodically sends corresponding request signals at least to a plurality of second vehicles. The second vehicles that intend to comply with the request send out corresponding signaling signals. As soon as a sufficient minimum number of second vehicles that intend to comply with the request can be determined, the second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver for creating the gap in the traffic flow are informed. The second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver agree on the beginning of the driving maneuver and mutually coordinate their trajectories. One of the second vehicles is designated as the maneuver leader and transmits at least one characteristic of the gap in the traffic flow to the first vehicle.
