A distribution system for vehicle information systems and methods for manufacturing and using the same. The distribution system supports both Wi-Fi- and cellular-based wireless networks for the distribution of selected content to a plurality of handheld devices disposed throughout a passenger vehicle via a bypass system (e.g., a Local Internet Protocol Access (LIPA) and Selected Internet Protocol Traffic Offload (SIPTO) bypass system). In an alternative embodiment, the distribution system can be configured for distribution of the selected content from a terrestrial content system to a plurality of passenger vehicles via the bypass system. By dynamically balancing network traffic across the multiple wireless networks, the distribution system can alleviate heavy traffic network and bypass a service provider's cellular core network to optimize signal bandwidth and network performance. As a result, passengers traveling aboard the vehicle can enjoy high-speed access to content with limited delay and without incurring additional charges.

1. A system for distributing content among a plurality of handheld devices, comprising: a first communication connection in communication with a first wireless network for distributing the content;a second communication connection in communication with a second wireless network that includes an operator core network; andan IP broadband bypass system being in communication with the first and the second communication connection for simultaneously distributing selected content to the plurality of handheld devices using both of the first and second wireless networks, except if at least one of the first and second wireless network is using at least eight-five percent of its available bandwidth, then: if the first wireless network is using at least eight-five percent of its available bandwidth, the second wireless network is selected to distribute the selected content, andif the second wireless network is using at least eight-five percent of its available bandwidth, the first wireless network is selected to distribute the selected content,wherein said IP broadband bypass system distributes the selected content over the second wireless network without the selected content being routed through the operator core network. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the IP broadband bypass system includes a Local Internet Protocol Access (LIPA) and Selected Internet Protocol Traffic Offload (SIPTO) bypass system. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first wireless network is a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, and wherein the second wireless network is a cellular network. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the cellular network is selected from a group consisting of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, a third-generation (3G) mobile phone network, and a fourth-generation (4G) mobile phone network. 5. The system of claim 3, wherein said second communication connection includes at least one of a PicoCell system and a FemtoCell system. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the selected content is selected from a viewing content group consisting of content associated with in-transit shopping, the Internet, entertainment media, electronic mail, corporate virtual private networks, customer virtual private networks, streamed media, and an Intranet system. 7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a local content system, wherein the plurality of handheld devices can select and present content available from the local content system. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a remote content system, wherein content available from the remote content system can be distributed throughout the plurality of handheld devices via a satellite communication system. 9.
