1. A method to communicate a set of encoded data slices to a receiving entity, wherein a data segment is encoded utilizing a dispersed storage error coding function to produce the set of encoded data slices, the method comprises: selecting a subset of the set of encoded data slices, wherein the subset of encoded data slices includes less than a decode threshold number of encoded data slices; when the receiving entity is affiliated with a first wireless communication resource, outputting the subset of encoded data slices via the first wireless communication resource to the receiving entity, wherein the first wireless communication resource has a first wireless geographic coverage area; and when the receiving entity is affiliated with a second wireless communication resource and is located outside of the first wireless geographic coverage area, outputting one or more encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices via the second wireless communication resource to the receiving entity.
