When the 2011 regular session starts later this year, the Alabama Senate will be conducting a test with video streaming from the Senate chambers. You can find out more information here:

Connections will be limited, I am told, to 25 connections at any time. Though this IS an extremely small number, please keep in mind this is a TEST, an experiment. If it works well, they may offer more connections in the future.

I know this is just a test, but is there any plausible reason that access is so limited? Either office holders or lobbyists will likely get the 25 slots and no one else can benefit from it.
ReplyDeleteCost, probably. It costs money to buy the machines and acquire the bandwidth to do the streaming. They got the money for a limited test project... if it works well, they may try to expand the program.
