The Black Boxes on Airlines

Whenever there is a airliner crash, the big job is finding the black boxes, the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorders.

Now that airplanes are equipped with wifi, have they started streaming the data as well? In that respect, the black boxes are just back-ups for those times when the wifi is unoperable (which certainly happens).

If they did that, then they wouldn't have to be as concerned about finding the black boxes after a crash.

It could be the case that the data rates are too slow for it to be effective, I don't know. I know that millisecond timing differences in sounds in the CVR have been used to locate the source of sounds like explosions and electrical shorts, and I don't know if that could be achieved if it were streaming.
