In embodiments described herein, responsive to a request to communicate with a target mobile station, recording of streaming content is initiated (506) and recorded (510) to provide recorded streaming content. An initial data packet with the recorded streaming content is generated (518) after a maximum duration of streaming content has been recorded, wherein the maximum duration of streaming content is of substantially a longest duration possible for the recorded streaming content such that the initial data packet is available on a target communication link at substantially a same time that the target mobile station completes establishing a dedicated communication channel appropriate for streaming content. This initial data packet is then accordingly sent (520) to the target mobile station.
