1. A bandwidth optimization system to reduce bandwidth usage of a cellular data network, comprising:
- a interactive content cache server communicatively coupled to a network node of said cellular data network;
said interactive content cache server comprising data caching module to enable caching data downloaded by users from content servers associated with said cellular data network;
said interactive content cache server further comprising a data organization module that produces organized data and meta data corresponding to cached data produced at said data caching module;
said interactive content cache server further comprising data viewing and interaction module to export and enable interaction with selective views of said organized data and said meta data;
a mobile device used by said user for communicating with said interactive content cache server to display and interact with said organized data and said meta data; and
said content server that is a source of content data associated with said cellular data network.

Abstract
A bandwidth optimization system to optimize bandwidth usage of a cellular data network is described. This is achieved by organizing data at interactive content cache server (42) such that data and corresponding meta data about said data can be viewed and interacted with by mobile device (32) users. This enables users to download alternate content associated with other users that may be related to their interest thereby improving the cache hit rate exponentially.

7. A method to provide bandwidth optimization to a cellular data network comprising:
-
requesting from a mobile device a view of meta data associated with data at a interactive content cache server that is associated with a network node at said cellular data network; receiving said view of meta data at said mobile device; selecting a list of data to be downloaded from said view of meta data to form a list of selected data to be downloaded at said mobile device; uploading said list from said mobile device to said interactive content cache server to request download of said selected data; and downloading said selected data to said mobile device based on said list, wherein said interactive content cache server caches user downloaded content from content servers associated with said cellular data network. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
