Abstract

In areas where Internet access is only sporadically available, or not available at all, delivering content (text, image, video, audio, application, etc.) to the people is not easy. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to spread content in such areas in a mobile peer-to-peer way. First we describe the architecture of the system along with the proposed communication protocol among the nodes. Then we discuss the advantages for the users and some scenarios where such a system may be useful. Finally, we examine the cooperation among the nodes and how users may be motivated to share their resources with others.
