A system for transferring content includes a wireless local area network (WLAN)
and a network module provided within the WLAN or a cellular network to alert users
of available content in the WLAN and handle user requests made for content when
a user has access to the cellular network. The network module, which may comprise
an interworking function, delivers the content to the user through the WLAN when
the user is present in a coverage area of the WLAN. The invention allows a user
to view the programs available for download and request a specific program using
a relatively low speed network, such as a cellular network, and download the program
through a high speed network, such as a WLAN.
