Appeal No. 2006-0362 Application No. 09/455,201 data between the wide-band links and the narrow-band links based on size of data, type of data, etc. For example, small-sized data may be transferred using the slower low bit rate link. On the other hand, real time data such as video data is transferred using the faster wide-band network. As shown in figure 3, gateway 70 receives wide-band Internet data 116 and transfers the wide-band Internet data 116 to the encoder and multiplexer 25 for encoding. After encoding the wide-band Internet data 116, the satellite broadcasts the encoded Internet data to the wide-band network. In response to narrow- band data 118, the gateway 70: transfers the narrow-band Internet data 118 to port 68 where the communication channel 59 transfers the narrow-band Internet data 118 to the decoder 45. The decoder 45 receives the encoded wide-band Internet data 116 from the wide-band network and the narrow-band Internet data on communication channel 59. 25 After decoding the encoded wide-band Internet data 116, the decoder 45 includes circuitry which recombines the wide-band Internet data 116 with the narrow-band Internet data 118 rovideto p display data for display by TV 50.
