Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving a request from a computing device accessing a web page; responsive to receiving the request, testing an ability of the device to enter into a communication session; loading the web page; and prompting the user to participate in a first type of session if the testing reveals an ability for the device to enter into a session of the first type. The user may be prompted to participate in a second type of session if the testing reveals an ability for the device to enter into a session of the second type. The user may be prompted to participate in a third type of session if the testing reveals an ability for the device to enter into a session of the third type. A communication session of the first, second or third type may be selectively initiated upon the user selecting a prompted session.

Abstract: A terrestrial repeater, comprising i) an interface means configured to receive a first data stream originating from a first satellite transmission network, a second data stream originating from a second transmission network, and a third data stream originating from a third terrestrial transmission network, and to transform the received streams into data packets; ii) a first processing means configured to select at least one part of the data packets of at least one of the first, second, and third streams received, and to process each selected stream portion to place the data packets it comprises into a selected broadcast format; and iii) a second processing means configured to combine the selected and processed stream portions to constitute a set of packets to be broadcast, convert the set of packets into at least one radio frequency signal, and amplify the at least one radio frequency signal in order to broadcast wirelessly towards at least one radio communication terminal.

Abstract: A terrestrial repeater (RT), comprising i) interface means (MI) having the function to receive a first data stream originating from a first satellite type transmission network (R1), a second data stream originating from a second transmission network (R2), and a third data stream originating from a third terrestrial type transmission network (R3), and to transform the said received streams into data packets; ii) first processing means (MT1) equipped to select at least one part of the data packets of at least one of the first, second, and third streams received, and to process each selected stream portion so as to place the data packets it comprises into a selected broadcasting format; and iii) second processing means (MT2) having the function to combine the stream portions selected and processed in order to constitute a set of packets to be broadcast, then to convert the said set into at least one radio frequency, and to amplify the said radiofrequency signal with a view to its broadcast via waves towards at l
