A method and system to enable data packets to engage in two-way transactions with various facilities, electronic equipment, and data sources, performing various services. This is accomplished by the loading of data packets with access tokens, denominated at certain values and issued by certain institutions. These tokens are then transferred, according to the instructions of a packet controller that is part of a packet, and according to the interaction of packet controller and facility gateway access controller, from packets to facilities (or vice versa) that provide services, and are redeemed by the facility or the source of the packet. This system enables information, communication, and general commercial activities by establishing a generalized mechanism for payment, transactions, negotiation, and differentiation on the packet level.
