Abstract

See full text

A plurality of service centers, disbursed throughout a telecommunications network such as the public switched telephone system (PSTN), competitively bid for the rights to service a particular call to be serviced from one of the service centers. After comparing the cost (or other parameter to be optimized) of servicing a call from the numerous different service centers, the cost (or other parameter) of the call is minimized (optimized) by assigning it to the service center which can service the call at the lowest possible cost (best value of any other parameter).
