THE INTERNET TOWN HALL

Thursday, February 15, 6:30-8:30PM Eastern Time

Join host Vint Cerf for a live multicast talk show. The talk show will be sent live using a variety of real-time audio and video formats (watch this space for details on what we got to work). The data will then be post-processed and put on the web so that you can "attend" our talk show anytime during the year.

The report from our on-site group is that both Xing Streamworks and Multicasting are working for live viewing of this event. If you are on the Multicast Backbone already, you should look in your "sd" tool. Xing users should go to the Internet Multicasting Service feed and look for "ACM 50th Anniversary."

If you don't have these toys, don't despair! The web version will be made available in a day or two!
