(AP) – If you plan to livestream next month’s solar eclipse from one
of the prime viewing spots, here’s a thought: Stick the cellphone in your
pocket, put on your paper glasses and enjoy the celestial wonder.Otherwise, frustration is possible since the best places to see the eclipse on
Aug. 21 are largely in rural areas with spotty cell coverage. Even as the major
cellphone companies temporarily upgrade service, there are no guarantees you’ll
be able to post to social media as quickly as you’d like.

The solar eclipse will be seen first in Oregon and cut diagonally across 14
states to South Carolina. It will be the first seen coast-to-coast since 1918.
Cellphone companies plan to bring in temporary towers to boost connectivity at
some of the big eclipse-watch events.
