Service information (e.g., enhanced broadcast service (eBCS) information) may be distributed. For example, service (e.g., eBCS) capabilities may be announced (e.g., by an access point (AP)) by broadcasting a common action frame. The common action frame may include per-service information. Common action frames may be transmitted on a per-service basis. The common action frame may combine authentication information and service information. Enhanced broadcast service provenance authentication may be performed on a per-service basis (e.g., using provenance authentication information to authenticate broadcast data frames of a consumed service). The provenance authentication information may be common to frames associated with different services. The service can be consumed without querying the service initiating device. A site (e.g., associated with or not associated with an AP) may report consumption or usage of a service. The report may be unrequested or requested (e.g., in response to a request from an AP). 可分发服
