Methods and system for providing multiple video content streams over different communication networks

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of video content streams;
• detecting a capacity of a first wireless communication network, wherein the detecting of the capacity of the first wireless communication network comprises identifying a number of active mobile devices on the first wireless communication network;
• determining a threshold according to the number of active mobile devices and an average data consumption for a mobile device;
• and
• transmitting a first portion of the plurality of video content streams across the first wireless communication network and transmitting a second portion of the plurality of video content streams across a second wireless communication network responsive to determining that the capacity of the first wireless communication network is above the threshold, wherein the first wireless communication network is a cellular network and the second wireless communication network is a satellite network.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, a plurality of video content streams, wherein each of the plurality of video content streams is a live video content stream of an event;
• detecting, by the processing system, a capacity of a first wireless communication network, wherein the detecting of the capacity of the first wireless communication network comprises identifying a number of active mobile devices on the first wireless communication network;
• determining, by the processing system, a threshold according to the number of active mobile devices and an average data consumption for a mobile device;
• and
• transmitting, by the processing system, a first portion of the plurality of video content streams across the first wireless communication network and transmitting a second portion of the plurality of video content streams across a second wireless communication network responsive to determining that the capacity of the first wireless communication network is above the threshold.
