1. A wireless Internet accelerator comprising:

  • a client program running on a mobile device;

    a client agent running on the mobile device, the client agent coupled to the client program by multiple concurrent Transport-Control-Protocol (TCP) connections;

    a server proxy not on the mobile device, coupled to the client agent on the mobile device by a radio link, and coupled to Internet servers by an Internet connection; and

    a collective TCP pipeline, using the radio link to exchange packets between the client agent and the server proxy, for exchanging packets from the multiple concurrent TCP connections from the client program using a collective connection that is a single TCP connection between the client agent and the server proxy, whereby multiple concurrent TCP connections from the client program are combined by the client agent for transmission over the radio link using the collective connection.
