Abstract

A system and method performs rerouting of an incoming call to a telecommunication services subscriber to provide intelligent network services based on proprietary data about the subscriber's services. This proprietary data is within the control of the telecommunication service provider's equipment. Rerouting is performed without providing access to the proprietary data by other telecommunication service providers. Using such a system and method the subscriber's telecommunication provider can effectively provide intelligent network services without risking dissemination of that proprietary data.
