`instructing the communication device how to communicate with each of the plurality of
`
`resources to cause each media content segment to be streamed to the communication device
`
`comprises, at least in part, at least one address of at least one routing processor, wherein the
`
`method further comprises transmitting the at least one address of the at least one routing
`
`processor to the communication device.
`
`87.
`
`(Previously Presented) The method of claim 79 further comprising receiving
`
`from the communication device by at least one of the resources a separate communication for
`
`each of the plurality of media content segments to effect streaming of media content segments
`
`and, for each separate communication, transmitting to the communication device an address
`
`of one of the resources.
`
`88.
`
`(Previously Presented) The method of claim 79 further comprising receiving
`
`from the communication device by at least one of the resources a single communication to
`
`effect streaming each of the plurality of media content segments.
`
`89.
`
`(Previously Presented) The method of claim 24 further comprising generating
`
`authentication information in the at least one universal resource locator (URL).
`
`90.
`
`(Previously Presented) The method of claim 27 further comprising generating
`

`receive, via a communication network and from a communication device, a
`
`request associated with a user of the communication device to have
`
`media content streamed to the communication device, the requested
`
`media content comprising a plurality of media content segments, the
`
`plurality of media content segments being portions of one media
`
`content file made available by a media owner for streaming, wherein
`
`the plurality of media content segments for the requested media are
`
`stored at multiple media storage devices in accordance with storage
`
`rules included within an order associated with the requested media
`
`content; [[and]]
`
`for each one of the plurality of media content segments, (i) determine a
`
`plurality of resources other than the management system available to
`
`obtain the media content segment from one or more media storage
`
`devices and facilitate streaming the media content segment to the
`
`communication device, (ii) transmit to the communication device an
`
`indication of the media content segment and information instructing
`
`the communication device how to communicate with 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,
`

`
`(Previously Presented) The system of claim 93 wherein the management
