And while a small ISP serving Plattsburg NY would have no problem peering with the WPTZ server in Plattsburg, would the big guys like Comcast/Verizon be amenable to peering with TV stations in small markets?This is already the case in many markets. It may not be IP peering, but there have been several recent instances where a broadcast TV transmitter is off the air due to some kind of failure and their cable feed keeps on chugging. Obviously there is some form of connection between the TV station and the cable company that doesn't rely on OTA.
Hell, even STL links these days are often packet based. (It's often a lot simpler and cheaper than trying to operate a microwave feed.) So if you've already done the encoding, the OTA setup is simply one branch among several possible paths. -Wayne --- Wayne Bouchard web () typo org Network Dude http://www.typo.org/~web/
