<p>In a telephone connection environment, a first user (10) can call a telephone switching apparatus (12, 60) for connection to second users who provide services. The exchange apparatus (12, 60) determines the position of the first user and selects second users (TAXI) having a characteristic (TAXI) selected by the the first user. The switching apparatus (12, 60) simultaneously calls a plurality of second users, and connects the first user (10) to that one of the simultaneously called second users who answer first. A further first user, seeking the same services (TAXI), can have the still-being-called second users transferred to him for even more rapid connection. The first user (10) can select the radius or a remote location for seeking second users. A first user (10) can make up his own list of preferred second users, whether local or not.</p> |
