Abstract
The present invention comprises a method for hosting: (i) a first conference call on a first teleconferencing bridge from time tto time t, and (ii) a second conference call on the first teleconferencing bridge from time tto time t. When a teleconferencing manager receives a request from a telecommunications terminal at time tto connect to the second conference call, the teleconferencing manager determines whether the request received at time tis greater than or less than time t. If the request received at time tfrom the telecommunications terminal is greater than time t, then the telecommunications terminal is connected to the first teleconferencing bridge. On the other hand, if the request from the telecommunications terminal received at time tis less than time t, then the telecommunications terminal is connected to a third conference call on a second teleconferencing bridge.
