The SN ( ) has a voice service browser ( ) which it can use to access resources on the Internet, these resources preferably being held on WWW servers ( ). A user of the telephone network places his own service logic programs, in the form of applets , on his WWW home page ( ) together with content items such announcements and messages; these content items may be embedded in the applets ( ) or held in separate files. When the SN ( ) receives a service request to supply a service to a user identified as having his own service logic programs and content items available on the WWW, the voice service browser ( ) reaches out over the WWW to retrieve the relevant service applet ( ) and any associated content items. The voice service browser ( ) then executes the applet ( ) to provide the desired service including the delivery of content items through a text-to-voice converter or the like.
