The present invention is directed to a system and method for employing telecommunications capacity information. In an embodiment of the present invention as a computer system, a batch server retrieves data from various digital subscriber line (DSL) related data sources and stores that data in a database. The data sources contain data related to the supply and demand for DSL services. The data source includes hierarchical attributes, such as an indicator of the geography from which specific data originated. Another embodiment also includes an interdisciplinary attribute, such as a department name. An embodiment of the present invention also includes a web server. In response to a request, the web server extracts the data from the database, and if necessary, calculates information concerning future supply and demand for DSL services. The web server generates an HTML report containing this data and transmits the report to the originator of the request. An embodiment of the present invention provides an effective and efficient system and method for employing telecommunications capacity information.
