The invention concerns a method for providing access to a large number of users to a collection of digital multimedia. Said collection of digital multimedia documents is transmitted by satellite over a specific geographical zone. It is simultaneously received through receiver terminals by all the users present in said specific geographical zone. The digital multimedia documents received by the terminals are stored, preferably on the basis of the user's interest profile, in a storage unit associated with each terminal. Subsequent access to a stored document will normally require a digital file authorizing access which is transmitted to the user after request for access to the document. (Fig. 3-a)
