Summary: Through the current explosion of the Internet, service consumers expect advanced Internet services become more customizable and easy to use. So, Service Providers must be able to deploy and manage such services, reducing the time to market of its services while drastically improving the Service Quality. However, the current Internet technology is lacking when it comes to developing and deploying new services, integrating together service offerings. This paper proposes a platform architecture for Internet Service delivering and management. We also introduce the concept of ‘basic service component’ as an extension of the notion of building block defined by the TeleManagement Forum and as a way to build business services in a flexible manner. Our proposal makes full use of the telecommunications informationnetworking architecture Business Model with some adaptations to fit with our component-based approach.
