14. A method according to claim 1 and also comprising providing communication via at least one facilitator between a broadcast facility and at least one of a product-specific communication facility and a non product-specific communication facility.
15. A method of communicating with a user according to claim 1 and wherein said enabling includes providing communication between a non product-specific communication facility and at least one product specific communication facility.
16. A method according to claim 1 and also comprising radio broadcasting said content.
17. A method according to claim 1 and also comprising television broadcasting said content.
18. A method according to claim 1 and also comprising broadcasting said content via Bluetooth.
19. A method according to claim 1 and wherein said mobile communicator includes a data communication device.
20. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said input to said mobile communicator of information identifying said user-sensible content which is synchronized with said user non-sensible content is effected in response to a user capture command specifying a broadcast channel along which the user is receiving said user sensible content and providing a time indication enabling said user sensible content on said broadcast channel to be unambiguously identified, wherein said capture comprises capturing at least part of said content carried by a sub-carrier, corresponding to said portion of said content selected by said user.
21. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising providing carrying out a transaction and reporting relevant details of the transaction to a facilitator.
22. A method according to claim 21 , further comprising the facilitator doing at least one of distributing relevant information to at least one supplier and performing a financial clearinghouse functionality.
23. A system for providing interaction between a multiplicity of users and at least one communication facility comprising:
a mobile communicator operative to receive user non-sensible content;
at least one synchronized broadcast facility operative to broadcast user-sensible content to said mobile communicator in synchronization with provision of said user non-sensible content to said mobile communicator;
user capture functionality enabling a user to capture selected user non-sensible content on said mobile communicator in response to said user-sensible content received by said user via said mobile communicator, said capture comprising capturing at least part of said content carried by a sub-carrier, corresponding to said portion of said content selected by said user, said enabling including automatically providing product specific interactive communication between said user via non product-specific communication facility with at least one product specific communication facility; and
user actuable access functionality providing interaction between said user and said at least one communication facility based on said user non-sensible content.
24. A system according to claim 23 and wherein said user capture functionality involves input to said mobile communicator of information identifying said user-sensible sensible content which is synchronized with said user non-sensible content.
25. A system according to claim 24 and wherein said enabling comprises enabling a user to preselect certain content based on user determined criteria.
