As the World Wide Web grows in size and complexity the importance of new information delivery models such as push increases. The push delivery model provides an easy way for end users to get the information they want from the Internet and creates a more effective way for content publishers to reach users. The Internet is a great way to deliver timely information, and push technology carries timely content delivery one step further.

Push is one of the Internet hybrid technologies (as are the Connected CD, Intercast^TM and Multiplayer Internet Gaming). Hybrid applications are those that integrate the capabilities of the high performance PC with the Internet. Push technology helps to enable the delivery of multimedia content on the Internet through the use of the local storage and transparent content downloads. Traditional applications can be enhanced with push technology, providing an excellent mechanism to deliver new content and content updates to the end user.
