ABSTRACT:
An enhanced system and method is provided for network implementation to facilitate network users' access to an Internet Service Provider. The system and method employ an approach whereby a network user may initiate an Internet access request from the user's network interface (e.g., personal computer) and the Internet access service provider (ISAP) may in turn select a station number corresponding with one of a plurality of different Internet Service Providers to provide the desired Internet access. The system and method are particularly apt for use in a telephony environment. In such environment, a central office switch receives a request from a telephony subscriber and suspends processing of the call pending receipt of routing instructions from a service control point. Such service control point selects the telephone number for an ISP from a listing of ISP telephone numbers corresponding with a plurality of different ISPs. Such number is provided to the central office switch to complete call processing. E-mail messaging may be advantageously controlled by an ISAP processor/memory module.
