Abstract: 1. Method for accessing to the World-Wide Web Resources, wherein at the inter-network connection client/server by Internet paths clients form requests and send them to servers and receive a request object and/or answer flows via proxy server and/or gateways, wherein said units are concentrated and readdressed and/or set as cache the requests and/or the request objects and/or the answer flows wherein the clients send their requests to the servers via the Internet network and through the proxy servers and/or gateways according to a first path and once they have readdressed the requests to the servers and received from said servers the request objects and/or the answer flows, these units modify the transmission path of the request objects and/or the answer flows from the proxy servers and/or gateways to the clients in order to replace the first path with a second one, send the request objects and/or the answer flows in a wide-broadcasting network to the clients using at least one unidirectional emitting network interface and clients receive the request objects and/or the answer flows from the wide-broadcasting network and through the unidirectional emitting network interfaces wherein the second path is shorter than the first one and/or an indirect routing is applied on the first path while a direct one is applied on the second path. 2. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the client is universal Web-client, requests are URL(Universal Resource Identifier) or/and URL(Universal Resource Locator), and the objects and/or flows are data flow and/or audio- and video streams. 3. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the clients are private networks, connected with Internet through proxy servers and/or gateways of private networks. 4. Method according to claim 3, characterized in that the request are sent by first path via proxy server and/or gateways of private networks, connected with Internet, wherein the request objects and/or answer flows are received by second path from wide-broadcasting network by means of said units of private networks. 5. Method according to claim 1, or 3, or4, characterized in that gateways can be the gateways of network layer and/or transport layer, and/or representation layer, and/or application layer. 6. Method according to claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the private networks can be local networks and/or intranet, and/or Internet domains, and/or sub-networks of Internet. 7. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the clients send requests to servers by Internet on proxy servers and/or gateways by the first path by inter-network gateways and/or routers and sub-networks of Internet. 8. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that parameters are to be measured and/or the metrics of first and second paths are set with the following comparing. 9. Method according to claims 7 or 8, characterized in that the measurement parameters of first and second paths are inter-network gateways quantity and/or routers on request paths and/or request objects, and/or answer flows. 10. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that transmitting network interface is DVB modulator (Digital Video Broadcasting). 11. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the broadcasting network is carried out as air, cable, satellite, cellular broadcasting techniques with use of QAM or QPSK modulation. 12. Method according to 1, characterized in that the receiving network interface is carried out as cable modem or network interface card.
