(Wearing my R2 hat) It appears we will be webcasting the 2nd reading of the NZ Sign Language Bill on 23 Feb 06 at around 3pm (after Parliament's Question Time). This will last for approximately 1 hour and has a reasonable audience in the low hundreds. (they packed the House last reading as well and overflowed into two rooms). For those who are unaware, the NZ Sign Language Bill will establish NZ Signing as the third Official Language of NZ, so the passage of the legislation is of interest to the Hearing Impaired community both in NZ and internationally. As before we will run 2 sets of streams - the main camera mix plus a fixed shot of the sign language interpreters. As we are not bandwidth constrained, we will also be running a full set of streams (56kbps, 128kbps, 384kbps and 2Mbps) and they will be served off servers at the main NZ IX points, plus the USA. CityLink advise me that anyone wanting help with a quick peering session with my routers should speak to Andy Linton. I'm happy to set up short duration/temp sessions. In addition, tomorrow we will be making Bloomberg TV available on our servers. This premiere news service will be of interest to the financial community. At the moment the streams are limited to 256kbps, but please note the "at the moment". The streams are available across all servers without restriction. For those interested, the link is http://www.r2.co.nz/meta/bloombergtv.asx Thanks and happy viewing. Rich
