Abstract
A system facilitates the purchase of telecommunication services from a variety of service providers. The system receives a request for purchasing at least one telecommunication service from a buyer via a buyer terminal, provides the request to a group of seller terminals corresponding to a group of the service providers, and receives a reply from the seller terminals in response to the request. The system then provides the replies to the buyer terminal, receives a selection from the buyer terminal in response to the replies, and notifies a service provider of the selection and an identity of the buyer.
