Macworld Keynote at Apple Stores

iAryeh writes "I was recently at the Apple Store in Cincinnati and they were passing out flyers that said: 'You're invited to join us at the Apple Store to view the keynote presentation by Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs.' I guess they are going to present this on the large screen television. This sounds like a better idea than watching the small stream from QuickTime." Apparently it won't be on TechTV this time around, which is mostly just fine with me, since they didn't show it live anyway, but instead paused the keynote for commercials (understandable) and commentary (totally incomprehensible).

How will it be broadcast? by foniksonik · 2002-07-16 16:31 · Score: 3, Interesting

If it's not on TechTV then how will it be broadcast to the Apple Stores? Will they use Quicktime 6/MPG4 or does every Apple have a closed circuit link to some here-to-fore unknown Apple fibre link?

Any ideas? If they don't use the QT6 streaming server with a dedicated server for each Store what are good alternative technologies for this sort of broadcast/multi-cast/point-to-point 'single-cast'?
