Abstract
Techniques, devices, and systems for implementing a Priority Data Transport Service (PDTS) are disclosed. The PDTS provides authorized devices and/or authorized users with on-demand, priority data transport (e.g., priority Internet access). For example, the PDTS allows authorized devices and/or authorized users to access the Internet, use mobile applications, and/or send and receive image data, video data, and text data in a prioritized manner, as compared to the regular (non-priority) Internet access that is provided to non-subscribers of the PDTS over commercial telecommunications networks. An authorized user may activate and deactivate the PDTS on demand. For instance, the PDTS may be activated during an emergency or crisis situation when networks may be congested, thereby providing the user with priority data transport (e.g., priority Internet access) in an emergency or crisis situation when a telecommunications network may be overloaded.
