HTTP Live streaming is not designed for you needs, it's for server->clients + I won't comment about huge delay it implies

You better check RTSP or RTMP protocol and LivU blog

For Celluar Apple seems to make a distinction between apps that are used for just streaming content from servers and those that are used for some type of conferencing. I think VOIP types are safe, and it seems like gocoder presenter types apps don't have issues either. There's no official page detailing this, but there is some mention under what apples considers VOIP app.

No app has issues if its over wifi only.
