The wireless subscriber device that is operable in a communique system for cellular
communication networks operates with existing cellular communication networks to
provide communique communication services to subscribers. The Communique can be
unidirectional (broadcast) or bi-directional (interactive) in nature and the extent
of the Communique can be network-wide broadcast or narrowcast, where cells and/or
cell sectors are grouped to cover a predetermined geographic area or demographic
population or subscriber interest group to transmit information to subscribers
who populate the target audience for the narrowcast transmissions. The wireless
subscriber devices used to communicate with the communique system for cellular
communication networks are typically full function communication devices that include:
WAP enabled cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, Palm Pilots, personal
computers, and the like or special communique only communication devices that are
specific to communique reception; or MP3 audio players (essentially a radio receiver
or communique radio); or an MPEG4 video receiver (communique TV); or other such
specialized communication device. The wireless subscriber devices can either be
mobile wireless communication devices in the traditional mobile subscriber paradigm,
or the fixed wireless communication devices in the more recent wireless product
offerings. Furthermore, these communique communication services can be free services,
subscription based services, or toll based services, while the data propagation
can be based on push, pull and combinations of push/pull information distribution modes.
