Realistically, how much bandwidth is available for wireless
streaming? It's one thing when there are only a handful of these
devices around but as more and more get "out there" you'll start to

Also, keep in mind that, especially here in New England once you get
away from the cities & interstate corridors, cell service becomes
flakey really fast.
