Mobile Live Broadcasting?

Tested...
One week ago I gave a little help to Almas [via Cinemateca and University of São Paulo] about how to live streaming direct via cellphones.

Then, we streamed by ustream's app [it's really interesting, but doesn't work very well here at Sao Paulo, Brazil]... maybe the problem was during our connection [Claro, Tim, Vivo...]... [?]

Sil and me [via Manifesto21.TV Team] researched for it [the Brazillian Companies and their mobile data connections] during 2005 until february 2008; after it we decided to use 2 of them [one to upload - live stream - the sounds & videos; the another one to preview - download - them, also in real time]. We worked during all that time in both technologies accessible to ordinary citizen: GPRS-EDGE and 3G.
.........
What I've been heard about it nowadays, is that 3G technology doesn't work very well anymore here, because there was an increase of the consumers [users of mobile telecommunication] - it could be a wonderful thing in a country like Brazil! - but without a better infra-structure and technological development by these companies since then. It's really a pitty.

How does it work in your country?!
or
How does it work in your city?!

Cheers!

ooops >> I must translate an article, by a Nokia researcher, about this issue; it was published in the last year, after Manifesto21.TV Team had stopped to live streaming from streets to the www by mobile phones:
“There is not much specific research on mobile live video available in the world instead of a lot of researches have been done on capturing & sharing visual content in mobile contexts ... Video calls over the internet are now becoming within the reach of the masses. Recent versions of telephony and messaging software such as Skype and iChat allow shared video conversations, while mobile networks (for instance, 3G) are enabling mobile video calls. In general, video has arguably become a first class internet data type (witness the rise of YouTube)”
