The cell reporter gets to the scene first and fast, and gets the story while the truck is prepped and getting going. The truck can take over when it gets on the scene, but by then the station has the lead story and can maintain the audience by mixing cell and sat. We all know news happens where it wants to, and the point is to get the story. Think of the cell phone as a compliment to the truck, and not a competitor.

For news, everyday people who can be deputized to pipe their live footage to big outlets when they happen to be on the scene at newsworthy events. Still waiting for my wireless brain implant though.

As a Fox O&O we also took the picture on our air and then on our website. I was intrigued! Over time I think this and other technology will be a great replacement to do exactly what we can do now with a full fledged live truck. It's all the other capabilities (mentioned in another comment I believe) that become possible with a broad digital stream that will keep the live truck alive, and make our jobs more complex, in the future.
