what kind of internet connection do you get at the Hershey centre? When I was there last year covering it for the news I saw someone stringing a few km of Cat 5 cable and someone talking about no signal. If someone has a Telus Rev A modem and a plan or their $15/day unlimited plan and there is a good radio signal then the upload speed on that is 550k from this little USB modem, thats how I do all my live driving shots for TV from my truck on livecast.com.
I hope to be at the GTR regionals and possibly waterloo this year for Weather network and Global, hopefully I can find a green energy technology angle to play.
I'm not sure in what capacity I will be shooting, for news we just shoot highlights and a few interview clips but I am not sure yet how it will go this year.
I have a Telus Rev A modem with an industrial grade plan, I just don't know if I will be there all three days yet.......otherwise I could offer that connection to you.
