The present invention is a wireless personal area network created utilizing the pre-existing wiring from conventional payphone devices. A data aggregator is operably connected to the wiring for the payphones to connect the aggregator to a public switch telephone network (PSTN) so that the data aggregator can communicate with a data concentrator via the PSTN. The data concentrator periodically retrieves and forwards data from the Internet to the data aggregator along the PSTN at speeds much greater than that of a conventional Internet connection. The data aggregator stores this data for subsequent transmission to a personal data access device via a wireless network access device operably connected to the data aggregator. In this manner the personal device can access data at speeds greater than conventional direct Internet connections without ever directly connecting to the Internet.
