Audio-visual content is then provided to the information appliance. A network media bridge server is provided to manage the delivery of media to an A/V telecommunication device. The network media bridge uses a network connection to link the network to an A/V telecommunication device, and a media connection connected to a content provider. The network media bridge provide content to the A/V telecommunication device in response to processing commands.
