IMO, it is very wasteful to try to broadcast using the present 
connection-type mobile phone protocols.  One needs a connectionless 
broadcast protocol with lots of good forward error correction. A 
protocol like the satcasters use.   That way a single outgoing stream 
can handle many users and there are no ACKS nor repeats.  Perhaps a 
two-way control protocol would be used to limit what is sent to just 
those streams required by the users within range.  That would increase 
the efficiency.

Details are left to the student.
