1. A method for providing time-dependent, geographically localized information to a mobile communication system, comprising:
- (a) receiving at a resolution server a geographic location identifier associated with a location of the mobile communication system;
(b) associating, at the resolution server, an address of at least one resource server with the geographic location identifier, the resource server storing time-dependent, geographically localized information; and
(c) sending the address of the resource server to the mobile communication system.

Abstract
Time-dependent, geographically localized information is provided to a mobile communication system. A geographic location identifier associated with a location of the mobile communication system is received. An address of a resource server is associated with the geographic location identifier; the resource server stores time-dependent, geographically localized information. The address of the resource server is sent to the mobile communication system.
