    Abstract: [Object] Only an unused band of a communication line subscriber is safely provided to a third party at no charge. [Solution] Provided is a communication apparatus 20 for connecting each of a plurality of information processing apparatuses to a communication line provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) by wirelessly communicating with each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses, the communication apparatus including a subscriber terminal determination unit 200 for determining whether or not each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses is managed by a subscriber to the ISP who has been authorized based on a contract with the ISP to connect to the communication line by installing the communication apparatus, and a communication unit 210 for wirelessly communicating with each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses giving a higher priority to a subscriber terminal that is an information processing apparatus managed by a subscriber than to a non-subscriber terminal that is an information processing apparatus not being a subscriber terminal.
