- new routers”
) deployed over a wide geographical territory, wherein each new router of the system has at least one Central Processing Unit (CPU) which has or is associated with two separately accessible distinct areas with different access possibilities to the respective areas, namely ;
A first area which is a private area that allows access only to the new router'"'"'s owner or possessor, said private area having an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the router'"'"'s owner or possessor to access said private area and hence access the Internet; and
—
A second area which is a public area that allows simultaneous access by more than one account each account being identified by an account identifier, typically a user name and/or password, said public area having an IP address which is reserved for said public users who have subscribed to the system and have an account identifier, typically a password and/or user name, for accessing the new router'"'"'s public area and hence access to the Internet wherever the system is deployed;
wherein the system is so arranged that any public user with a pre-registered user account identified by an account identifier, typically a user name and/or password, can access the Internet from any new router in the network from any location where new routers of the system are deployed by connecting to the public area of a new router'"'"'s CPU and entering the account identifier of the pre-registered user account.
