The present multi-media communication management system comprises a
controller that interfaces with a plurality of communication space
stations and with one or more communication medium service providers.
Each communication space station may be coupled to a wide area network
mobile telephone served by a wide area network service provider. The
multi-media communication management system communicates with a wide area
network controller through the service provider medium and automatically
provides instructions to the wide area network controller to forward
telephone calls that are directed to the mobile telephone to the system
controller upon the mobile telephone being coupled to a communication
space station.
