If Broadcast TV Is Dead, Why Do Live Shots Keep Getting Easier?

Ive been to the NAB about 13 times (including as a wide-eyed college senior in 1980) but I’ve never made it to the European version, the IBC in Amsterdam.  It is going on right now, and as a result my Email box is stuffed full of press releases.  Most of them are pretty “meh,” but as a broadcaster who is used to microwave and satellite trucks hauling signals back to stations, the demo that you can see here  from miniCASTER just makes me tingle.  It relies on several 3G and/or WiFi signals to get a broadcastable SD or HD signal onto the Net and back to…well, pretty much where ever you want it to go.  They claim latency of less than 3 seconds and IFB to the distant reporter and camera as a part of the signal.  Of course, no prices are listed on the site, so it is a little hard to tell how cost-effective it would be, but if they can deliver on the promises at a reasonable price this technology is poised to be truly game-changing.  Give it a look.
