1. A method of routing data stored on a first device over a telecommunications network to a second device wherein the transmission path is based in part on geographic position, the method comprising:

  • contacting a second device'"'"'s home network server over a transmission path, wherein the second device geographic position is stored on the home network server;

    requesting the second device geographic position;

    receiving the second device geographic position from the home network server over the transmission path into memory;

    transmitting the data and second device geographic position over the transmission path to a node having a node geographic position, wherein the node reads the second device geographic position, accesses a recipient geographic position for possible recipients, accesses the node geographic position, compares the node geographic position with the second device geographic position and selects a recipient based at least in part on the geographic proximity of the recipient to the second device; and
