Abstract
The present invention relates to a telecommunication system enabling a user to select services. A telecommunication system having a switched domain comprising switches is disclosed. Service networks are connected to the switches and users are also connected to the switches using fines. An IP path selector and an operator are also connected to the switches. The operator forms service network groups by selecting among the service networks. The service network groups are allocated a virtual local network each by configuring the ports in the switches and the IP path selector. The users can select services by means of selecting one or several of the virtual local networks. By configuring their devices to their chosen virtual local network the user receives the services desired. The user can also change his selection of services by reconfiguring and thus connect to an alternative virtual local network.
