Abstract
This invention enables viewing local content over the Internet. By putting the smarts in a hub/node near the Internet user, where the geographic location of the user is known, a mechanism on said hub can either provide this location to requested web sites, or present the local information to the user itself, by substituting web-page sub-sections with local content. Furthermore, this hub can be a web server itself, for servicing local requests from the users.
