(yay a post on something other than Australian politics!) This seems very cool. Don’t quite understand the technical details and who would be allowed to broadcast. Would it be just the TV stations or is it open to anyone with an internet connection? It seems if it is the latter, then that might contravene Australia’s stupid datacasting laws if it were possible to understand them. In any case, it will be available in Sydney (more yays!) and is according to Samsung and open standard (even more yays!).
