Slashdot | Roll Your Own Television Network Using Bittorrent

"Mark Pesce, lecturer at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) writes here and here about using p2p networks, specifically bittorrent, to create a grassroots television network. He cites as an example the BBC's 'Flexible TV' internet broadcasting model using that as the core of a 'new sort of television network, one which could harness the power of P2P distribution to create a global television network.' Producers of video entertainment and news would provide a single copy of a program into the network of P2P clients, and the p2p network peers distribute the content themselves. Thus, a virtual 'newswiki' where the content is distributed bittorrent using some sort of 'trusted peer' or moderator mechanisms as a filtering/evaluation mechanism. So what is stopping anyone from doing this now? Awareness of the concept, perhaps? Lack of broadband connections? Lack of business models for content producers?' "

University Week - Vol. 22, No. 1 - Grant supports effort to connect ocean observatories, land-based researchers

"Oceanographers and computer scientists designing cyberinfrastructure to link research institutions on land with several existing and planned ocean observatories off the west coasts of the United States, Canada and Mexico today received $3.9 million toward that effort. The infrastructure being developed will be a prototype for the use and automation of undersea sensor networks—both delivery of data from sensors and the control of sensors and networks from land—and will assist in designing sensor networks for conducting research in other remote and hostile environments."
