Currently available subscription services for television, cable, and satellite entertainment products are contracted for in advance, installments paid monthly, and specific services paid for at the time of the service or at the end of the monthly billing cycle. 

In the future, home networks may simplify this entire environment by monitoring which services are used, on how many devices and in which rooms, and who the audience will be.  Speech recognition or other interface not able to be used by under-aged children may replace current parental consent protocols. 

The home network may also process billing interfaces, displaying itemized bills for approval and producing archived and hard copy copies of bills and payment information.
