Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for facilitating content delivery in mobile access and other networks, and improving access to content and services in those networks. Mobile terminals and other user devices are increasingly used for content generation and content upload, in particular for what concerns photo and video types of content. Since the quality of the content generated with the aforementioned devices is dramatically increasing, the associated file sizes are also significantly larger. At the same time, the uplink of cellular and mobile systems has typically much less capacity than the downlink, thus solutions that can deliver improved performances in existing infrastructures, when uploading user created content, are highly beneficial for supporting user content generation in future devices and networks. The present invention increases the user experience and satisfies consumer expectations by proactively obtaining content deemed desired by a user and, through time and location shifting, preloads the material into a network-controlled portion of the user'"'"'s mobile device.
