Abstract
A system facilitates the purchase of telecommunication services from a variety of sellers. The system aggregates buyers for purchasing at least one telecommunication service as a group, generates a request for purchasing the telecommunication services, provides the request to the sellers, and receives replies from the sellers in response to the request. The system then provides the replies to the group, receives a selection from the group in response to the replies, and notifies a seller of the selection.
