1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,generate a message when the apparatus determines that the apparatus arrives in a localized service area offering one or more services that are localized based upon the localized service area and available only within the localized service area, the message specifying that the apparatus is in the localized service area;
cause, at least in part, transmission of the message to a communications system; and
receive, in response to the message, the one or more localized services.

Abstract
A communications system (100, 300) comprises base stations (101) for providing mobile stations (104) with communications links. It comprises at least one localized service area (111) and means (108, 109) for changing the service selection offered to a given mobile station on the initiative of the communications system. The change is realized in response to information (203) indicating the arrival of the mobile station in said localized service area.
