Abstract: Method and apparatus for remote users to access the world wide web without requiring large bandwidth connections. The system is intended mainly for use by traveling users. The mobile users are connected to a remote server which is in wireless communication with a central, land-based server. The central server communicates with a telecommunication network, such as the internet. The remote server communicates with the central server to periodically update the website information on the remote server. The mobile remote user is connected directly to the remote server, and thus indirectly to the internet. Hence the user's connection with the remote server gives him or her the look and feel of a direct website connection. Because the remote server periodically receives updated website information from the central server, which may be limited to partner websites as well, the bandwidth required for the transmittal of such information is minimized.
