Would you give up stumpcam for wimax?

Interesting report in yesterday's Australian about a discussion paper on wireless internet options released by the Australian Communications and Media Authority this week.

One of the options being considered by the ACMA in increasing wireless internet availability is to reallocate the bandwidth spectrum used by television networks for transmitting some outside broadcast data back to base. Among the many items that would be affected are remote control cameras such as the stump vision used by channel 9 at the cricket.

The press release on the ACMA website gives more details, including a link to the full discussion paper. Submissions to the ACMA are being accepted up to April 3.
