Abstract
The method for electronically conveying large blocks of data between geographically-remote locations by uploading the sender's data to the local hub site of a service provider's network, earmarking that data with an electronic invoice, transmitting that data via the service provider's high speed network to a secondary hub site that is local to the recipient's geographic location, and downloading the data from the second hub site to the recipient's network. Duplicate archival versions of the transmitted data may be maintained at two geographically-distinct locations, such as the service provider's primary and secondary network hub sites. The total number of network connections may be reduced with a minimum number of alternative connections maintained to ensure data delivery in the event of a network connection failure. Value-added services may be performed on the data either prior or subsequent to its transmission between the primary and secondary hub sites.
