Throughout the world Internet Service Providers (ISP) continue to expand from their traditional core services of providing pure Internet access into new spplications to not only develop new revenue streams, but also to meet the demands of their customers as they too mature.

DIGITALK is ideally suited to providing ISPs with the tools needed to expand into new technology areas and to provide a platform that is ideal for creating new service packages for their existing customer base.

The DIGITALK Multiservice Platform supports a number of applications which ISPs can use to extend their marketing reach, including:

• Pre and postpaid account based services, including prepaid Internet services
• Direct connect for business telephony or converged access
• Indirect telephony (1xxx/CPS)
• Virtual Office
• Broadband Telephony
• Conferencing

ISPs are often in the ideal position, with an existing and loyal customer base, to branch out into indirect telephony using the Incumbent Service Providers network as access to the DIGITALK switch, and to market Broadband Telephony to an existing DSL customer base, provides the opportunity to bypass the voice access network to give unrivalled value for money to subscribers.
