Abstract
A system and method for video-on-demand and videoconferencing services using a broadband switch network, a broadband session controller, and a broadband service control point. The broadband network provides connections between information sender/receivers in response to instructions from a broadband service control point or in response to requests originated by an information sender/receiver. The broadband service control point processing instructions and/or data to the broadband controller and information sender/receiver. In addition, an integrated service control point integrates broadband and telephone networks to provide efficient and effective integrated broadband and telephone services. Both broadband and telephone services can be provisioned via a video interface at a user'"'"'s remote location. Also, the integrated network provides unique caller identification delivery services.
