System for presenting communications capacity

The system of generating presentation of network capacity and price collects from various sources information about communication capabilities and prices, processes this information and stores the processed information on a storage medium. In response to a local or remote user's request, a piece of the processed information is retrieved from the storage medium and transmitted as a presentation to the user's computer for displaying on the user's display device. Preferably, processed information is displayed on a map, in charts, and/or in tables. Additional data not shown immediately on the screen is also sent. This data or some items of it is displayed only in response to the user's selection. The map with the processed information and the additional information enables the user to do various analyses relating to network capacity being offered and based on the analyses the user can select an offer.
