Multi-services gateway device at user premises

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a communication device located at a user premises, causes the communication device to perform a process comprising:

• wirelessly communicating with one or more endpoint devices at the user premises;
• communicating across a wide area network with a first service provider located externally to the user premises;
• enabling management and/or control of the communication device via at least one of:
• an interactive voice response functionality, or
• a graphical user interface rendered on a display at the user premises;
• receiving a first voice command from a user for a service;
• verifying at least one of a policy rule or a usage rule associated with the service based on the first voice command;
• and
• causing authentication and/or authorization to be performed through one or more first communications with the first service provider to enable streaming of first media from a server associated with the first service provider to at least one of the endpoint devices,
• wherein the communication device is configured to cause authentication and/or authorization to be performed, based on a second voice command from the user at the user premises, via one or more second communications with a second service provider located externally to the user premises and from which the communication device is programmed to stream second media at the user premises independent from the first service provider.

A method performed by a communication device, the method comprising:

• wirelessly communicating with one or more endpoint devices at a user premises;
• communicating across a wide area network with a first service provider located externally to the user premises;
• enabling management and/or control of the communication device at the user premises via at least one of:
• an interactive voice response functionality, or
• a graphical user interface rendered on a display at the user premises;
• receiving a first voice command from a user for a service;
• verifying at least one of a policy rule or a usage rule associated with the service based on the first voice command;
• and
• causing authentication and/or authorization to be performed through one or more first communications with the first service provider to enable streaming of first media from a server associated with the first service provider to at least one of the endpoint devices,
• wherein the communication device is configured to cause authentication and/or authorization to be performed, based on a second voice command from the user at the user premises, via one or more second communications with a second service provider located externally to the user premises and from which the communication device is programmed to stream second media at the user premises independent from the first service provider.

A communication device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed at a user premises by the one or more processors, cause the communication device to perform a process comprising:
• wirelessly communicating with one or more endpoint devices at the user premises;
• communicating across a wide area network with a first service provider located externally to the user premises;
• enabling management and/or control of the communication device via at least one of:
• an interactive voice response functionality, or
• a graphical user interface rendered on a display at the user premises;
• receiving a first voice command from a user for a service;
• verifying at least one of a policy rule or a usage rule associated with the service based on the first voice command;
• and
• causing authentication and/or authorization to be performed through one or more first communications with the first service provider to enable streaming of first media from a server associated with the first service provider to at least one of the endpoint devices,
• wherein the communication device is configured to cause authentication and/or authorization to be performed, based on a second voice command from the user at the user premises, via one or more second communications with a second service provider located externally to the user premises and from which the communication device is programmed to stream second media at the user premises independent from the first service provider.
