Abstract
A method for allowing multiple service providers (20,22,24) to provide services via a common access network (12). The access network (12) is arranged with multiple logical network layers, each .specific to a respective service provider. Upon successful authentication of a subscriber (14) by a given service provider, the access network 12) assigns that subscriber to the logical layer specific to the authenticating service provider. The access network then handles communication traffic in that logic layer in a manner specific to the service provider.
