A network adapted to target an individual operating a microcomputer that is microwave
linked to an Internet highway to offer this individual goods or services appropriate
to his needs that are available at a place within reach of the individual's present
location. The microcomputer is provided with a GPS receiver that indicates the
present location of the individual, this location and the identity of the individual
being transmitted from the microcomputer to a web site on the highway. At the web
site, a computer associated with a data bank storing the profiles of a multitude
of consumers is programmed to find out whether the identified individual is included
in the data bank, and to determine from his profile whether there are available
at a place reachable from his present location appropriate goods or services. If
a match is found, an offer to supply such goods or services is conveyed from the
web site to the microcomputer.
