		<pub:abstract><![CDATA[A network of infostations offering high bandwidth islands of
data connectivity has often been suggested as a viable alternative
to cellular WAN for providing network connectivity for
mobile devices. Current data management models proposed
for such networks treat these infostations mainly as passive
entities that offer devices in range, access to needed information.
In this paper, we propose a novel approach wherein infostations
actively participate in delivering content even to devices
that are not in range. Other participating mobile devices
that have excess spare capacity are used as carrier nodes to
transport data towards remote devices. Short range wireless
technologies enabling creation of ad-hoc peer-to-peer networking
capabilities between devices are used to form transient
communities to exchange information. The infostations
are responsible for selecting appropriate carrier devices to use
so that these carriers meet the device in need at the appropriate
time to participate in this collaboration. Through this,
dependency on the more expensive WAN networks is minimized.
We present a design of our proposed framework and
its components along with a prototype implementation.]]></pub:abstract>
