I just saw this article and video and thought it was worth sharing  I'm assuming this is Sprint since they mention $60/month fee and show what looks to be the U720 (and not to mention this would be against the Verizon TOS!)
| Quote: | The Slingbox is known best for its ability to let consumers watch their home TV channels remotely using a laptop or smart phone. But a local San Francisco news station has found a way to utilize the trapezoid-shaped set-top box to cheaply and easily deliver live news, traffic and weather updates wirelessly back to its studio.
The news operations director at CBS 5, Don Sharp, devised a way to replace more than 20 of its cameras affixed to the tops of local bridges, freeways and buildings that use microwave technology to relay video back to the station with smaller cameras combined with a Slingbox Pro and a high-speed wireless EVDO card, at 800 kilobits per second.

Of course technically they are using uplink speed which isn't 800 kilobits/sec...

Sprint is probably going to want to find a way to get more $$$ from broadcasters for this sort of thing.
There goes the bandwidth
