Yeah, though it's often easier to expense assets than add more salaries, which is why I wonder if some sort of auto-wifi upload, which can be supplemented by a satphone <-> wifi bridge if required, might be more of a realistic proposition for warzone journos than an extra person hiding somewhere in the back of the convoy. And of course, these days, public wifi is much more widely accessible in many parts of the world, so it's only in the most remote or hostile environments that you'd need this.
- toyg 10y ago> only in the most remote or hostile environments Aka "the overwhelming majority of the world". Dude, you struggle to get decent 4G in the UK outside big cities... I do agree that the "immediate background upload" model is superior to encryption; it's also definitely harder from a logistic perspective. One feature does not exclude the other though -- in fact, uploading an already encrypted stream would be highly preferable in order to thwart interception (which is a massive problem everywhere, including patriot-act US and snoopers-charter UK).
