The viewer may be authenticated and billed based on the viewer's participation in the conference. The viewer may be assigned to a conference group based on a location of the viewer and/or the viewer's selections of conference options. A lookup may be performed to determine conference parameters, comprising one or more of a terminal identifier associated with the viewer, a conference code identifier and a participant code. A conference setup message may be transmitted to one or more of a switch and a customer premise equipment device (CPE) based on the conference parameters.
