Abstract

See full text

A method of brokering a service access transaction includes facilitating service access via a customer, via a first service provider of a plurality of service providers. A transaction record is automatically created to record the service access at a first data source (e.g., a transaction server). The transaction record is automatically communicated from a data source to a settlement system to settle a service access transaction. At the settlement system, a sell rate and a buy rate are automatically determined for the service access transaction reflected in the transaction record. The sell rate is the rate charged for the service access by an access broker and is determined utilizing a customer and/or a location identifier for a customer recorded in the transaction record. The buy rate is the rate at which the access broker purchases service access for re-sale to customers.
