ABSTRACT:
A telecommunication switching network is described in which one or more competing local exchange carriers are to be provided with unbundled access to customer premises equipment though subscriber access lines. The customer premises equipment is comprised of user terminals and a customer premises equipment connector that can transmit and receive any combination of telephone, fax, modem, video, and data signals. A line interface module is connected to the customer premises equipment by means of subscriber lines for routing the signals originating with the customer premises equipment ("local access signals") to a competing local access service node, instead of the service node operated by the incumbent local exchange carrier. A network interface module is provided to set up a call path through a generic connectivity network. The generic connectivity network, which is comprised of a number of interconnected switching nodes, transmits the local access signals to and from the service node operated by the competing local exchange carrier.
