How would Outernet be accessed?

So I am not experienced in networking, but I am fairly sure that your computer must request information from the internet to get the correct information. Say I wanted to use Wikipedia on Outernet, how would I get the page on say Physics if it is a one way connection, meaning my device could not send a request for the information. Will it listen for the page and then load it when that page is specifically broadcast? Also would outernet be accessed like normal wifi and with a web browser, or as an application?

In multicasting mode, your network card functions as a receiver. This is the mode that outernet would function using. Websites and data would be broadcast, users would not be able to request particular websites in the manner of normal Internet usage.
