`
`for each one of the plurality of media content segments, (i) determine a
`
`plurality of resources other than the management system available to
`
`facilitate streaming the media content segment to the communication
`
`device [[and]], (ii) transmit to the communication device an indication
`
`of the media content segment and information instructing the
`
`communication device how to communicate with [[each]] a first one of
`
`the plurality of resources to cause the media content segment to be
`
`streamed from the first one of the plurality of resources to the
`
`communication device in accordance with at least one rule associated
`
`with the requested media content to control how the plurality of media
`
`content segments are to be streamed to the communication device, a
`
`capability of the communication device, and an attribute of the user,
`
`and (iii) upon an occurrence of an error in the streaming of the media
`
`content segment from the first one of the plurality of resources to the
`
`communication device, causing the media content segment to be
`
`streamed by a second one of the plurality of resources, different from
`
`the first one of the plurality of resources, to the communication device
`
`in accordance with the at least one rule associated with the reguested
`
`media content to control how the plurality of media content segments
