The present invention provides systems and methods for distributing
content objects to a requester. Some of the systems include at least one
content object origination, and two or more content object destinations.
The two or more content object destinations are associated with customer
premises. Communication links communicably couple the content object
origination and at least one of the content object destinations, and at
least two of the content object destinations. Local storage is associated
with at least one of the content object destinations. A content object
from the content object origination is maintained on a local storage
associated with one of the content object destinations, and the content
object is accessible via the local storage to another content object
destination. The methods provide various ways for distributing content
objects using systems similar to that previously described.
