1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising;
determining a number of active terminals in an area based on data derived from a second wireless network different from a first wireless network, wherein the first wireless network is a unidirectional digital broadband network and the second wireless network is a bi-directional communication network and wherein the unidirectional digital broadband network is a Digital video broadcast network;
determining whether the determined number of active terminals meets a predefined threshold;
in response to determining that the number of active terminals meets the predefined threshold, selecting content for delivery through the first wireless network, wherein the selection is made based on pattern of usage associated with one or more active terminals in the area; and
initiating delivery of the selected content through the first wireless network.

Abstract
A content delivery service is described for delivering content over a broadband digital broadcast network (7). A controller (27) allows the delivery of content to be made in accordance with activity in a public land mobile network 1. The delivery of content may therefore be effectively scheduled and n appropriate revenue level.
