Would the Free To Air stuff work at all? I have some customers who do Free To Air but I have yet to even look at one of their setups to see what type of content they are getting. But is Free To Air also Free to Rebroadcast??!
I tried to deal with Time Warner as just being a reseller of their content but they just yawned. I wanted to setup a building to install the individual digital boxes in for each customer ant Time Warner would just install in that building as needed. Then stream the video channel to the customer. Not gonna fly with Time Warner. Anyone else out there doing TV over IP? How are you setting this up and how are you obtaining rights to rebroadcast the video content? Certainly there HAS to be a group that we can purchase content from.

You can't obtain a license for traditional TV over wireless networks. I wouldn't mind coming up with a half assed list of places of good video content. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Clint Ricker" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 7:11 AM To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Net Neutrality > I am all too aware of the weakness of wireless networks in regards to > streaming of video. > > That said, I cannot see how over the top video is a bad thing for > independent ISPs, even if wireless technology has to make some progress to > handle it.
