A method for offering a virtual public access service is provided, which makes it easier for mobile users to have access to a network (e.g., the Internet and/or LAN) by radio, and which makes it possible to realize faster communication than the existing public mobile telephone network. In the step (a), a contract is made by a provider of a virtual public access service, with a network owner/manager who owns and/or manages a network system that are accessible to authorized network users. The contract includes a clause that the network owner/manager gives the provider permission to place a radio access point device that forms a radio access point in the network system and to connect the radio access point to the Internet by way of the network system. The contract further includes a clause that the network owner/manager can get payment for the permission from the provider. In the step (b), a radio access point device that forms a radio access point is placed by the provider in the network system of the network owner/manager in accordance with the contract, thereby forming a virtual public network. The virtual public network allows registered users of the provider to access the Internet by way of the radio access point and the network system.
