Abstract: A system (190) provides information to multiple subscribers (105-125). The system (190) receives requests for different types of information from the subscribers (105-125) and stores rules for delivering the requested information. The system (190) gathers information from multiple information sources (145-155), packages at least some of the gathered information into customized bundles according to the received requests and the stored rules, and delivers the customized bundles to the subscribers (105-125) according to the stored rules.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are useful for maintaining the integrity of documents, such as web pages, which contain hyperlinks to other documents, such as other web pages. A value representative of the content or a portion thereof of the document referenced by the hyperlink may be included in the hyperlink, such that changes in the content of the document are reflected as changes in the value representative thereof. Subsequent retrievals of the referenced document may then be analyzed to verify that the contents of the document have not been altered since the hyperlink was created.

Abstract: Requests for content such as large multimedia files are redirected to avoid congestion and delivery delays on network backbones. In embodiments, user requests for content are redirected from the content provider's site to a network node proximate to the user. The content is served to the user without using the backbone of the Internet. In embodiments, content items are distributed to edge nodes proximate to users by satellite or other system substantially separate from the Internet. The engines for receiving and redirecting user access requests for content may be updated in near real time with information such as content disposition, node operational status and user addresses and profiles.
