An apparatus and method for providing a communique constituting program content concurrently delivered to a plurality of subscribers is described. Subscriber information for each of a plurality of subscribers is stored. The subscribers whose wireless subscriber devices are active in a cell are identified. Data that identifies a plurality of subscribers is automatically generated. One or more cells are selected to provide a communique to subscribers who are members of at least one community of subscribers and who are served by the selected plurality of cells, independent of the presence of subscribers who are authorized to receive said communique and who are served by other cells of the cellular communication network. Data constituting said communique from a selected program source is routed, concurrently, to authorized wireless subscriber devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Existing cellular communication networks are designed with a network topology that is exclusively point to point in nature.
This paradigm represents the historical view of cellular communications as a wireless equivalent of traditional wire-line telephone communication networks, which serve to interconnect a calling party with a called party.
The need to concurrently serve many voice subscribers with the limited bandwidth available in cellular communication networks has also prevented the provision of wide bandwidth communication services to these subscribers.
These existing systems are largely static in their operation, with each cell providing point to point communications to a population of subscribers who reside in or roam into the predefined service area of the cell.
There is an absence of a capability to provide a communication service to a subscriber population that comprises a dynamically changing coverage area that spans multiple cells.
The dynamic convergence of a plurality of subscribers to constitute a target audience for Communiques is a paradigm that is not addressed by existing cellular communication systems, nor is there any functionality suggested in existing cellular communication systems to deal with providing information relevant to this target audience in a real time manner.
Cellular Communication Network Philosophy Cellular communication networks as shown in block diagram form in FIGS.
1A & 1B, provide the service of connecting wireless telecommunication customers, each having a wireless subscriber device, to both land-based customers who are served by the common Carrier Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 108 as well as other wireless telecommunication customers.
In such a network, all incoming and outgoing calls are routed through Mobile Telephone Switching Offices (MTSO) 106, each of which is connected to a plurality of cell sites (also termed Base Station Subsystems 131-151) which communicate with wireless subscriber devices 101, 101′ located in the area covered by the cell sites
