1. A system for distributing information from a host service in communication with a computer network to a mobile station in communication with a wireless network, comprising:
- means for receiving a data item associated with the mobile station at the host service;
a network resource monitor in communication with the host service and the wireless network, the network resource monitor automatically providing network resource status information for the mobile station to the host service;
means for determining at the host service whether a network resource of the wireless network is currently associated with the mobile station;
means, responsive to determining that the network resource of the wireless network is not currently associated with the mobile station, for transmitting a resource request message from the host service to the mobile station to instruct the mobile station to acquire the network resource, wherein after the mobile station acquires the network resource, the network resource monitor automatically provides the network resource status of the mobile station to the host service; and
means for transmitting the data item to the mobile station using the network resource.

14. A system for distributing information to a wireless mobile station, comprising:
-
a host service operating on a computer network that receives a data item associated with the wireless mobile station and determines whether a network resource of a wireless network is associated with the wireless mobile station, wherein if the host service determines that the network resource is not associated with the mobile station, then it transmits a resource request message to the wireless mobile station to instruct the wireless mobile station to acquire the network resource; and a network resource monitor in communication with the host service and the wireless network, the network resource monitor automatically providing network resource status information for the wireless mobile station to the host service; wherein the host service, upon receiving the network resource status information from the network resource monitor, transmits the data item to the wireless mobile station using the network resource. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
