A system and method for delivering a content stream, for example, deadline driven (live) content stream or non-deadline driven (pre-stored) content stream, from a content source to a content player associates a plurality of smartphones with a partnered smartphone group that share their resources for delivering the content stream transmitted from the content source based on a partnership profile stored in a partnership profile storage device. A content segmentation process is executed at a segmentation processing node that converts the content stream into a plurality of content segments according to a segmentation rule. The plurality of content segments are transmitted to the partnered smart phone group over a first plurality of communication links and the plurality of content segments from the smartphone group are transmitted towards the content player over a second plurality of communication links. The transmission over the second plurality of communication links is based on information stored in the partnership profile that specify at least one condition information for at least one of the plurality of smartphones to share its resource with resources of one or more other smartphones of the plurality of smartphones.
