SeattleWireless TV Broadcasts Again

broadcast...? or better?

[certron]

I guess for it to be a real broadcast, it would have to be on at a certain time, and have to have real people 'tuning in' to see it. In this case, it is more of a video press release/news program.

Don't get me wrong, this is pretty cool in itself, but I was a little disappointed when reality reminded me that this wasn't some multicast video streaming thingie, with a program being available almost simultaneously over all nodes in the network. (Although, a sniffer-based audio/video player could be kinda cool, too, and actually be like a real broadcast, with lots of little repeaters...)

Then again, traditional time-based network shows (or informative / documentary shows) may be on the way out, and this is, in fact, a future video structure.
