VBScript is a Microsoft proprietary language derived from Visual Basic (VB). Like JavaScript, VBScript is intended for use as a browser-based language, a server-side (Active Server Pages — ASP) language, and an administrative (Windows Scripting Host — WSH) language. Unlike JavaScript, support for it in browsers is limited to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

Variable bit rate (VBR) is an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) quality of service category, defined by the ATM Forum. Both real-time variable bit rate (rtVBR) and non real-time variable bit rate (nrtVBR) are defined. Apart from the traffic parameters for peak cell rate (PCR) and sustainable cell rate (which defines the average bit rate required by the application), additional quality-of-service parameters such as maximum cell transfer delay, cell delay variation and maximum burst size must be agreed upon. The typical application for which it is used is compressed voice and videoconferencing for rtVBR, and response-time-sensitive data such as Systems Network Architecture (SNA) for nrtVBR.

Offered by a network or its resellers; a value-added service (VAS) generates additional revenue by offering increased benefits to subscribers. Total VAS revenue is calculated from the total of SMS, data-over-cellular and information-service revenue. All other VAS revenue is considered transparent and is included with call charges or subscription revenue.

User provisioning or account provisioning technology creates, modifies, disables and deletes user accounts and their profiles across IT infrastructure and business applications. Provisioning tools use approaches such as cloning, roles and business rules so businesses can automate onboarding, off-boarding and other administration workforce processes (for example, new hires, transfers, promotions and terminations). Provisioning tools also automatically aggregate and correlate identity data from HR, CRM, email systems and other “identity stores.” Fulfillment is initiated via self-service, management request or HR system changes. Regulatory compliance and security efficiencies continue to drive most user-provisioning implementations.
