By "his subscriber table'  i mean  the WIFI subscriber table. In addition,
you will have voip table for your own use. So it is like,
- WIFI provider has wifi subscriber table
-VOIP provider has voip subscriber table.

 The query will be a simple SQL insert statement, which will insert the
record  into the VOIP subsriber table. It may be noted that there are two
ways to do the insert.
  1. The WIFI sends/redirects the insertion page after hsi wifi registration
to the VOIP web'site inserion script.
  2. The VOIP provider gives database access to WIFI provider to to the
insertion. Here the VOIP insertion will be almost same as WIFI insertion,
differing only in DB info.

FLAG here denotes a database BOOL field (it may be char, int whaterver,
serving the same purpose), which will have two values,; one for your users,
and another for the users in the table who are created  'from' the WIFI
provider side.
  For eg, Here you might set the default flag value as 0 (ZERO or OFF), and
when you add a WIFI user record, set the flag in that case=1 (ON).

For Billing, create a cron script, which genertate a report of successful
based on the following query
          SELECT * FROM CDR WHERE flag=1 AND DISCONNECT_CAUSE='SUCESS'
(Of course, the above might differ from your chema) .
       The generated report can be presented for billing to your WIFI
provider.

   If the subscriber table you created is integrated with a radius server
(freeqrduius?), and you are using an appropriate call flow route in ser.cfg,
then the authentication will be automatic, no need to do anything extra.

See Answer 3. Here, automaitically, the charge you will present to him will
be automatcally only for the charges incurred by your switch, irrespective
of the fact that the subscirber was latched up to WIFI, dialup or whatever.
