1. At least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium carrying instructions, which when executed by a data processing in a vehicle, perform a method to facilitate transmission or reception of a data file, the method comprising:
receiving, at the vehicle, a request to transmit the data file;
analyze the data file to determine a bandwidth for transmission;
determine that an available bandwidth associated with a licensed wireless frequency band is less than the determined bandwidth; and
initiate a hybrid mesh of an unlicensed wireless frequency band and the licensed wireless frequency band to transmit the data file,
wherein the hybrid mesh corresponds to at least one Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication connection between the vehicle and at least one other vehicle, and with a base station associated with the licensed wireless frequency band; and
transmit the data file via the hybrid mesh.
