Abstract

A dynamically provisioned telecommunications system and methods for using such. Various of the systems include an automated carrier layer that is operable to direct one of at least two access sources to a subscriber line, and an automated service layer that is operable to direct an access request associated with the subscriber line to one of at least two service pools. In some cases, one or more electromechanical cross-connects are used to switch network signaling.
