quote:All smart phone plans require a data plan. For ATT it's like a minimum of 1gb as I recall and upping it is only another $5-$10 a month extra but 1gb is enough to upstream live video for some time depending on the resolution selected. Also most plans don't stop the data flow when you exceed the allowance unless you program in a cap limit stop. I would imagine if one were up streaming live video during an altercation, one wouldn't care if they exceeded the plan limit. Later they could make a call and simply up their data limit usage plan for that month and not get nailed by overage charges.

It's a whole new digital world these days and nothing much is immune from record to the big web cloud in the sky.
