Abstract
A system and method for messaging and obtaining message acknowledgement on a limited-area network managed by a network management device connected to a wide-area network. The system allows messages to target individual end user devices and receive message acknowledgement from end users. The method allows the recipient of an individually targeted message to prevent service interruption or to be rewarded by acknowledging receipt of a message.
