This invention can re-direct the source of TV data, and shift the source from the Internet to a new set of source entities. This new entity can be a plurality of TV receivers. All TV data can be taken from a different source by adding, for example, one or multiple DVB receivers to the access point. Whenever the user requests a TV service, the data (e.g. TV program) is taken from that entity and not from the Internet. This reduces the aggregate data volume in the backhaul and the backbone network. There are new entities added to the access point from which a certain kind of data, namely TV, is obtained and forwarded to the user (consumer) with reduced bandwidth needs because of an embedded transcoder and with a local charging system. |
