With continued reference to FIG. 1, the telecommunication environment 100 can include a number of telecommunication devices 160, each associated with a user. The telecommunication devices 160 can correspond to a wide variety of devices or components that are capable of initiating, receiving or facilitating communications over a communication network including, but not limited to, personal computing devices, electronic book readers (e.g., e-book readers), hand held computing devices, integrated components for inclusion in computing devices, home electronics, appliances, vehicles, machinery, landline telephones, network-based telephones (e.g., voice over IP (“VoIP”), cordless telephones, cellular telephones, smart phones, modems, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, gaming devices, media devices, and the like. In an illustrative embodiment, the telecommunication devices 160 include a wide variety of software and hardware components for establishing communications over one or more communication networks, including the wireless communication network 110, a wired communication network (not shown), or an IP-based telecommunication network (not shown).
Although the wireless communication network 110 is illustrated as a single communication network, one skilled in the relevant art will appreciate that the communication network can be made up of any number of public or private communication networks and/or network connections. The wireless communication network 110 can include a network of cell sites 150 located in different geographic locations, each having an intended or designed coverage area.
