A method comprising: establishing an opportunistic networking infrastructure by occasional or periodic interconnection of a plurality of mobile devices; receiving data at an origin device to be delivered to a target entity on a mobile device; aggregating the data on the origin device; determining whether capacity is still available to capture additional information bound for the target entity; upon determining that capacity is still available, capturing, on the origin device, additional information from at least one other proximate device; determining priority of transmission based on an analysis of a content of the data; identifying a communication path through the opportunistic networking infrastructure as a function of the priority; and based on an occurrence of an opportunity to transmit the data, transferring the data and the additional information to the target entity by way of the communication path.
