Abstract

The present invention relates to a global computer network system which includes distributed services and centralized services. The distributed services include a geo-traffic manager, a rebroadcaster and an audience data collector to optimally route data through the network from a content provider to an end user. The centralized services support the functionality of the distributed services.
