Abstract

An information distribution device selection system capable of selecting one information distribution device that is logically closest from the user communication terminal among a plurality of information distribution devices on inter-connected communication networks is disclosed. The system is formed by: a plurality of information distribution service communication networks having an identical communication network identifier, each of which also has an individual communication network identifier for identifying each information distribution service communication network on the inter-connected communication networks; a plurality of communication network exchange devices respectively provided in the information distribution service communication networks, each of which has a routing control function; and a plurality of information distribution devices respectively provided in the information distribution service communication networks and having an identical communication terminal identifier, each of which also has an individual communication terminal identifier for identifying each information distribution device on the inter-connected communication networks.
