Abstract
Described herein is a method for accessing a digital network. For example, the method may include receiving a message from a network access device at a first Internet service provider, and sending at least a portion of the received message through a network to an access service provider. The method may also include receiving the portion of the message at the access service provider, and sending network access data, based at least partially in response to receiving the portion of the message at the access service provider, to the network access device. The network access data may include log-in information and an identified Internet service provider. A communication may be received at the identified Internet service provider that originated from the network access device based at least partially on the network access data obtained from said access service provider. A temporarily assigned network address may be assigned to the network access device.
