Abstract
Abstract An information delivery system comprises equipment located at a first or storage location (10) and additional equipment located at a second or utilization location (11). The locations are interconnected for transmission of information therebetween by a communication medium (12). The system includes elements and methods for increasing the effective rate of transfer of information across information medium 12. These elements and methods include data compression including iterative data compression. The elements and methods further include the synchronised superposition of channels forming communication medium (12). Communication medium (12) can include a cellular mobile telephone network to permit transmission of information between mobile stations (311, 312) and to cellular receivers (217).
