Abstract
A system and method where the user can first view information content at a first information appliance at a first location, and instruct the system to pre-load the information content at a second information appliance at a second location prior to second viewing. The pre-loading is accomplished by a plurality of proxy servers associated with a plurality of information appliances at a plurality of locations, a plurality of proxy directories containing information associating the proxy servers to the information appliances, servers containing the information content, and billing servers for generating financial charges. The request to pre-load can be made from the information appliance itself or a communication means associated with a location such as a web page. The request can also be made by a user calendar interface provided by the present system. The calendar is capable of storing a plurality of scheduled events and locations where pre-loading takes place.
