Abstract
A telecommunication system and method enables an end user to select communication services from a plurality of communication service networks providing different communication services. A telecommunication switch is connected to the service networks, and one or more local network terminals communicate with the switch through connections configured to carry communications for the different communication services provided by the service networks. A plurality of user devices, each configured to support a corresponding communication service, connect to the network terminal through a plurality of service ports. The network terminal configures the service ports for the respective user devices, and provides communications for a corresponding service to an activating user device in response to an activation of a service port by the activating user device. The telecommunication switch and/or the local network terminal may prioritize communications from particular service networks.
