Internet access is provided to passengers in a vehicle such as an aircraft through a proxy server ( ) which has access terminals (T -n) for passengers' lap top computers or personal organisers (UT -n). The proxy server ( ) can be connected through a satellite link ( ) to a ground-based land station ( ) connected to the Internet. In order to minimise use of the wireless link ( ), the proxy server, whilst the aircraft is in transit, is loaded with most frequently used web pages from a ground-based server ( ), connected through terminals ( ) and a wired link ( ). The downloaded web pages may be selected according to the destination of the journey. E-mail messages produced by the passengers may be temporarily stored until the aircraft lands and then downloaded to the server ( ) for onward transmission.
