No - the plan was for us to webcast a different part of the 2 days,
not the "main event", so it would have been our cameras. Often we
take an "international" or "clean" feed and mix that with our
cameras. There is some discussion as to whether an international
grade clean feed is available. RNZ are unable to make a clean feed
available. There have been some space issues. The bottom line is we
were turned down. DIA don't want cameras in the bit we were asked to
cover. Sorry I'll explain later over beer - a bit of broadcaster
competition was occuring.
On the bright side - its 20hours driving less to do, and Jeremy
doesn't have to fly to NZNOG in/out of AKL. He gets to fly out of
DNN to WLG - then drive to AKL.
