Definitions

Content
Content consists of all of the media by which a news story or sporting event story can be delivered to a user. This may include text, graphics, video, or sound.

A subscription is an agreement between a customer and WebNewsOnLine to deliver pages when events occur in specific sports subject areas (such as NCAA Basketball).
Web Site
The Collegiate Sports Paging System web site is a computer system that a user accesses using commercial web browser software. Subscribers will receive customized displays of content they can access.
