Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for managing content distribution in a mobile communications environment. The communications environment includes a core network and a multitude of end-user devices. In one embodiment, the method comprises downloading content from the core network to the end-user devices; and maintaining a map between the end-user devices, the content downloaded to the end-user devices, and the locations of the end-user devices. When a first of the end-user devices requests a specified content, this map and one or more rules are used to identify a second of the end-user devices having the specified content. The first of the end-user devices fetches the specified content from this identified second of the end-user devices. In one embodiment, object location descriptors embedded in the content are rewritten when the content is downloaded to the end-user devices.
