Video streaming services are very popular today. Increasingly, users can nowaccess multimedia applications and video playback wirelessly on their mobiledevices. However, a significant challenge remains in ensuring smooth anduninterrupted transmission of almost any size of video file over a 3G network,and as quickly as possible in order to optimize bandwidth consumption. In thispaper, we propose to position our Billboard Manager to provide an optimaltransmission rate to enable smooth video playback to a mobile device userconnected to a 3G network. Our work focuses on serving user requests by mobileoperators from cached resource managed by Billboard Manager, and transmittingthe video files from this pool. The aim is to reduce the load placed onbandwidth resources of a mobile operator by routing away as much user requestsaway from the internet for having to search a video and, subsequently, iflocated, have it transferred back to the user.
