Abstract
A communications system includes a plurality of recipient processors located at geographically remote locations with respect to each other and connected for communication with an information provider processor, over the communications network. The provider and recipient processors may comprise respective computers coupled for communication on the Internet or WWW. The provider processor is capable of providing information from any suitable source, by communicating such information over a communication network. However, access to the information by the recipient processors is controlled, based geographic location or region of the recipient processors and time information and, for some systems, a set of rules relating to a further condition.
