Kodak's doing that with a couple of their consumer cameras. It has
some value, but be ready to pay for service providers on a monthly
basis. Some folks are doing wi-fi for transferring captures directly
to a storage unit outside the camera without the inconvenience of
having to make wired connections.
Instant online communications I would find of extremely limited value
in a camera. A camera is for making photographs, not for browsing the
internet or answering email.

Instant online information, just like live webcasts. But
better.
