ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and an article of manufacture provide the ability to transmit files/web content. Content files are gathered by a web caster application and the files are updated, fragmented, prepared, and scheduled for transmission. The web caster stores the files in an archive of prepared files and adds/updates a queue of files (sorted by date/time) that contain filenames of the files in the archive. A web player reads a file at the head of the queue and obtains the name and location of the archived file. The web player commands a transmission process to retrieve and transmit the appropriate file to a satellite for broadcasting to one or mote clients.
