1. A method for providing a push-to-talk proxy media service, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of monitored push-to-talk communication streams over a high bandwidth connection, each monitored push-to-talk communication stream comprising audio communications from a plurality of users;
mixing the plurality of monitored push-to-talk communication streams into a mixed communication stream such that the audio communications communicated in each of the monitored push-to-talk communication streams can be heard on the mixed stream; and
transmitting the mixed communication stream to a user endpoint over a low bandwidth connection.
