Abstract
A method and system in which data objects including area-specific information are provided to a mobile communication device are disclosed. The device indicates a present physical location to a data object server, and the data object server returns a data object, such as an internet web page, WAP page, or other information, which contains information specific to the area in which the device is presently located. The areas for which data objects are provided can be independent of the structure of the communication network serving the mobile communication device.
