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
bidirectional (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.
