1. An accelerated network delivery system for delivery of channelized content to end users comprised of
at least one local network appliance geographically proximate to a plurality of end user devices, the at least one local network appliance having at least one processor and associated memory for processing content requests from the end user devices, the at least one local network appliance configured to analyze the content that is the subject of a content request for relevance to previously aggregated content in at least one of a plurality of content channels maintained in the at least one local network appliance wherein relevance is determined at least in part by prior usage characteristics augmented by trend data and, if any of the content is determined to be relevant to at least one previously aggregated content channel, to associate at least some of the relevant content with at least one such content channel,
wherein the associated memory comprises at least one content storage device for caching at least some of the previously aggregated content to enable the at least one local network appliance to determine whether at least some of the requested content has been previously cached in the at least one content storage device, and
a network connection for delivery of requested content cached in the at least one content storage device to the end user device that issued the content request.
