Network access nodes
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- one or more wireless access nodes of a first communication service provider and at least one server associated with a second communication service provider, interconnected via a packet-based network; and
a wireless user terminal operable to establish a session with one of the wireless access nodes of the first communication service provider, the wireless user terminal comprising a processor and a storage medium installed with an application of the second communication service provider, wherein said application is configured so as when executed on the processor to;
in event of failure to establish a session via one of the wireless access nodes of the first communication service provider, store information regarding the failed session at the wireless user terminal; and
in event of subsequent access to the packet-based network, transmit said information regarding the failed session to the server associated with the second communication service provider over the packet-based network.
