4. The device set forth in claim 1 , wherein the multimedia content brokerage computing device is further configured to: determine whether one or more subscriptions are needed to obtain the multimedia component streams and, if so, obtain the needed subscription or subscriptions.

5. The device set forth in claim 1 , wherein the multimedia content brokerage computing device is further configured to: after establishing a connection with the content provider, interface with the content provider and obtain at least one structured data file identifying a network address for each of the multimedia content component streams.

6. The device set forth in claim 1 , wherein the multimedia content brokerage computing device is further configured to: obtain a structured data file comprising data identifying a spatial arrangement of a media presentation displayed on the device capable of receiving multimedia content component streams; and generate the user interface based on the structured data file.

7. The device set forth in claim 1 , wherein the multimedia content brokerage computing device is further configured to: access presentation identification data and identify at least one content provider as part of a partial content service session; and based on the location of the mobile device and an identity of the content provider, determine whether to transfer the partial content service session to a mirror brokerage computing device.

8. The device set forth in claim 1 wherein the mirror brokerage computing device is configured to access the selection data, access data for the multimedia content component streams, buffer the data, and transmit the buffered data to the mobile device in response to a transfer of the partial content extraction session.

9. A method of providing partial content extraction, the method comprising: receiving a request from a mobile device to launch an extraction service when the mobile device comes into vicinity of a device capable of receiving multimedia content component streams; determining a location of the mobile device; assigning a server to provide content to the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device; establishing a connection with a content provider; obtaining a plurality of identifiers for the multimedia content component streams; and providing the plurality of identifiers to the mobile device; receiving data from the mobile device identifying one multimedia content component stream of the multimedia content component streams for extraction; obtaining the one multimedia content component stream from the content provider; and providing the one multimedia content component stream associated with selection data to the mobile device.

10. The method set forth in claim 9 , further comprising buffering at least one of the multimedia content component streams and, after receiving the selection data, discontinuing buffering at least one stream that is not identified in the selection data.

11. The method set forth in claim 9 , further comprising: interfacing with the content provider and, in response to the selection data provided by the mobile device, transmitting data identifying at least one change in the device capable of receiving multimedia content component streams.

12. The method set forth in claim 9 , wherein the user interface data defines a layout of a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising respective portions corresponding to the one multimedia content component stream.

13. The method set forth in claim 9 , further comprising: determining whether one or more subscriptions are needed to obtain the multimedia component streams and, if so, obtaining the needed subscription or subscriptions.

14. The method set forth in claim 9 , further comprising: after establishing a connection with the content provider, interfacing with the content provider and obtaining at least one structured data file identifying a network address for each of the multimedia component content streams.

15. The method set forth in claim 14 , further comprising: obtaining a structured data file comprising data identifying a spatial arrangement of a media presentation displayed on the device capable of receiving multimedia content component streams; and generating the user selection interface based on the structured data file.

16. The method set forth in claim 14 , further comprising: accessing access presentation identification data; identifying at least one content provider for a partial content service session; and based on the location of the mobile device and an identity of the content provider, determining whether to transfer the partial content service session to a mirror brokerage computing device.

17. A multimedia content brokerage computing device comprising: memory; and circuitry associated with the memory, the circuitry configured to: receive a request from a mobile device to launch an extraction service when the mobile device comes into vicinity of a device capable of providing multimedia content component streams; determine a location of the mobile device; assign a server to provide content to the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device; establish a connection with a content provider; obtain a plurality of identifiers for the multimedia content component streams; provide the plurality of identifiers to the mobile device in a web page; receive data from the mobile device identifying one multimedia content component stream of the multimedia content component streams for extraction; obtain the one multimedia content component stream from the content provider; and provide the one multimedia content component stream associated with selection data to the mobile device.
