The cell towers will be flooded by the millions of people wanting to stream and upload pics of the historic event. Be prepared to be offline.
Download what you need before the 6th and don’t flood the networks. 👍

Download a map of the area.
Also bring a portable solar charger for your phones. Places might prevent you from using their electricity to charge up.
Radio's will also be important for at least staying in contact with your group if the network goes down. I would definitely encourage everyone to upload footage but to be cautious and not carelessly use bandwidth, I do feel it may go down just from the overload, like how cell towers near football stadiums go down at times.
Keep recording if the network goes down, it can always be uploaded later. Just be aware of the quality of the video, as if you are recording at 4k @ 60fps you will use 400mb every minute. Better to switch to 1080p @ 30fps to use less memory and switch to 4k when important.
Write down emergency #’s (friends/fam, hotel, taxi, etc). Don’t just download a map, have a physical copy. Remember, BLM & antifa are phone thieves. You might want to keep your ID & cash in a security pouch under your shirt.
Good, then antifa and BLM can’t live stream it when they get their asses kicked.
No, it's okay. They've been nice enough to put up a lot of "portable cell network boosters" on the National Mall (behind cheerful barbed wire fences) to help with any overloads. All this despite bleachers and other infrastructure being dismantled due to any planned "inauguration" events being cancelled or virtual w/people officially encouraged to stay home. Any resemblance to "Stingrays" is coincidental any purely unintentional. Why, I see this as an olive branch gesture of thoughtful government service and ... waitaminute ... is this thing on?
