ABSTRACT:
A communication system (101) interfaces to an information network (140) through provider equipment (110, 130) to provide data to subscriber units (120, 125). A request is received (410) at the provider equipment (110, 130) from a subscriber unit (120) for streamed data sourced on the information network. The provider equipment determines (420) whether this data corresponds to a request that is currently being serviced on a particular communication channel accessible to the subscriber unit. When such is the case, the request is satisfied by communicating (425) a designator for this channel to the subscriber unit. Otherwise, the provider equipment accesses (430) the information network to obtain (440) the data, and communicates (450, 460) a designated channel to the subscriber unit for receipt of this data. The provider equipment then couples the data from the information source and transmits (470) this data on the designated channel.
