Abstract: A method and system for forming a virtual network. The method comprises the steps of providing each of a plurality of mobile objects (102, 105) with a transceiver (104), and transmitting a cellular/radio signals from a source (101). At least a first (105) of the mobile objects is located in an area (100) where the transceiver (104) of the first mobile object (105) does not receive the signal directly from the source (101), while a second (102) of the mobile objects is in a position where the transceiver (104) of the second mobile object (102) receives the signal directly from the source (101). The transceiver (104) of the second mobile object (102) is used to receive the signal directly from the source (101) and to transmit the signal to the transceiver (104) of the first mobile object (105).
