Common short codes ( CSCs ) are short strings of numbers that are used to address wireless messages and are administered by a single CSC Administrator (CSCA) - the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) - for a group of U.S. wireless carriers. In addition, the CSCA oversees the technical and operational aspects of CSC functions and maintains a single database of available, reserved, and registered CSCs.
Other functional roles involved in the enabling and use of CSC-related applications are as follows:
| * |
End users are people and/or entities that utilize short codes for communication with applications. |
| * |
Carriers provide the network infrastructure for the delivery of messages between end users and connection aggregators or application providers. |
