Abstract

An Internet-accessible system allows a user to control routing of communicaiton service requests in a telecommunication system which routes requests using selected service providers. The system comprises a web site through which subscribers register their service provider preferences in a database. Service pricing plans are also stored in the database. Service requests routed to the system form an identified subscriber are then switched to the most appropriate service provider according to the registered preferences of the corresponding subscriber and service metrics for the selected service. The subscriber can also access service progress and billing information at the web site which includes user authentication features.
