The invention is an Internet access system reducing Internet traffic and delays
in content presentation. It puts together interactivity of the Internet and congestion-free
content delivery inherent in broadcast radio and television. An access server located
at a broadcast center receives clients requests for Internet objects (web pages,
music files etc.) via a two-way medium, downloads from the Internet a single copy
of that object no matter how many clients have requested the object and then retransmits
the copy in a broadcast manner so that all clients requested the same object could
download it simultaneously. The system provides a repeated transmission of objects
in high demand to reduce interaction between Internet clients and access server
while operating in two modes of content delivery: an immediate delivery on request
and a planned delivery according to a schedule. In both modes users receive Internet
content of their choice at the time of their choice.
