ABSTRACT:
An on-line communications service allows a plurality of service providers to provide services to respective groups of subscribers, with the on-line service from each provider being independent of the on-line service from other providers. The subscribers' access to features is maintained through service maps which are customized by the service provider interactively with the host computer. Upon log-on, the service map is downloaded to a subscriber's computer and defines the services which can be accessed, the appearance of the user interface and navigation through the services. Data for each provider's service is maintained separately from the data for other providers. Billing can be customized for each provider.
