1. A method for presenting information to a mobile communication device, comprising:
- receiving, at an external server, a data object request from the mobile communication device, the data object request including location data and a first parameter identifying a kind of trigger event that triggered the data object request at the mobile communication device;
determining, at the external server, a location area for the mobile communication device based on the location data; and
providing to the mobile communication device a data object containing area-specific information for the determined location area, wherein the content of the data object depends upon the identified trigger event.

Abstract
A method and system in which data objects including area-specific information are provided to a mobile communication device are disclosed. The device indicates a present physical location to a data object server, and the data object server returns a data object, such as an internet web page, WAP page, or other information, which contains information specific to the area in which the device is presently located. The areas for which data objects are provided can be independent of the structure of the communication network serving the mobile communication device.
