Claim:
One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a processor, perform a method for enabling a media host device associated with a media-delivery network to communicate with a mobile end point associated with a wireless communications network through a base transceiver station, the method comprising: receiving from the mobile end point at a short-range wireless device in communication with the media host device a message in a first format used by the mobile end point and the short-range wireless device requesting that media content of the media-delivery network be delivered to the mobile end point; converting the message in the first format to a second format used by the media host device and the media-delivery network; communicating the message in the second format from the media host device to the media-delivery network; storing the message in a database shared between the wireless communications network and the media-delivery network, wherein both an authenticated entity on the wireless communications network and an authenticated entity on the media-delivery network are able to access the message from the database; notifying the authenticated entity on the wireless communications network that the message is available and placing a media identifier of the media content in the database; and retrieving by the authenticated entity of the wireless communications network the media identifier and moving the media identifier to the mobile end point to permit retrieval of the media content at the mobile end point.
