Abstract
A broadband service control point provides processing instructions and data to a broadband session controller and an information sender/receiver. The broadband session controller communicates with a user's settop controller and video information providers, ('VIPs'), and requests processing information from the broadband service control point in response to predetermined triggers. The broadband session controller also instructs the broadband switch network to establish broadband connections between a VIP and a predetermined settop controller. An integrated service control point integrates broadband and telephone networks to provide efficient and effective integrated broadband and telephone services via video interface at a user's remote location. Also, the integrated network provides unique caller identification delivery services.
