Abstract
Methods, media, and systems are provided for switching delivery of streaming services to dual-network mobile devices. Instances of streaming content can be first delivered by a network of a first protocol to the mobile device, then delivered by a network that uses a second protocol. This transition takes place seamlessly as the handoff changes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the receiving device through a connection session controller (CSC) server and a switching helper application (SHA) on the mobile device. A session identifier ensures the appropriate streaming instance is paused, resumed, and redirected. The dual-network wireless device is configured to include an SHA configured to initiate and complete a switch of service in conjunction with the CSC.
