PS: Why is TED India so darn expensive?
Being one who can't afford the ticket, failed to apply for a
fellowship, and
wouldn't have qualified anyway, I will cheerfully camp in Mysore and
expect
(a) someone will see me waving like an idiot from the gate and will
come out
to say hi, and (b) the videos will be public within hours of each
talk, so I
can figure out who the heck that was who just came out and said hi.

Kiran, If you execute your plan, wouldn't be the first time. ; )
Alas, the video will talk appearing soon after the conference, but not
instantly.
The videos actually take a while to be posted, because we don't just
take the "live mix" of the conference and encode it and post it. We
shoot with five cameras (or more), and then take all the footage and
produce it more like a short film with editors trained in
B(Hollywood). We edit out the speaker's pauses, ums and ers, fix the
sound and color correct and even add subtitles, including many Indian
languages.
Nonetheless, I'll keep an eye out for you. : )
Cheers,
Tom
