A system and method for establishing hybrid communications which
establishes said communication with any one of a variety of different
wireless communication devices enabled to receive satellite data
transmissions such as satellite radio either directly via an over the air
network or through the provision of a short range transceiver assembly so
as to provide data communication from to the wireless communication
device from a computer network, such as the Internet or a LAN connected
to the Internet, utilizing a computer network access. The wireless
