Abstract
A system for communicating telecommunication information includes a memory, a telecommunication interface module, and packetization modules. The memory stores subscriber profiles associating each of several subscribers with a data communication protocol. The telecommunication interface module receives telecommunication information for a subscriber from a telecommunication network, and the packetization modules generate data packets communicating the telecommunication information according to a data communication protocol associated with the subscriber.
