Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method in which advantage is taken of the fact that a great percentage of the general public have on their person some form of communication device. When such communication devices are within certain pre-defined physical locations their relative position can serve to allow communications to be directed to the device simply by using the location of that device as a network address. In one embodiment, the defined space is a public conveyance, such as an airplane, train or bus, having defined seating. In such a situation, the network address for a device is the seat location of the device.
