Abstract
Techniques for providing a media stream to a mobile computing device based on a predicted route of the mobile computing device include obtaining a predicted route of the mobile computing device and determining whether the predicted route travels through an area of reduced network capabilities. If the predicted route travels through the area, the techniques include determining whether to adjust the bit rate encoding of the media stream such that playback of the media stream is not interrupted.
