Abstract: In some embodiments, a user can create a location-conscious mobile banner. The user can specify the appearance and content of the location-conscious mobile banner, and can also specify where and when the location-conscious mobile banner is provided to other users, and/or a type of campaign to initiate. A mobile application may communicate with a server in order to store and/or distribute the location-conscious mobile banner for display within mobile applications and/or other media. The server can also provide the user with statistics about the location-conscious mobile banner, and can allow the user to dynamically alter portions of the location-conscious mobile banner and/or the campaign criteria for the location-conscious mobile banner, based on the statistics. The server may also facilitate interaction between other users viewing the location-conscious mobile banner, and the information incorporated within the location-conscious mobile banner.

Abstract: A system and method for vending digitized content over an Internet network path, at least a portion of which is wireless, such as an SDMA high data rate directional wireless path. Content in the form of IP packets is provided to a user terminal via a connect server in response to user requests, which can be real-time requests or which can be requests embodied in a user-defined or system-defined user profile. The user is billed using one or more of several billing paradigms, including by the content piece, by the number of IP packets sent to the user, by the length of time the user accesses the system, by the subscription, and so on.
