Big Apple Feeds TV

Hat tip to Craig Sender for pointing out an article in Broadcasting and Cable. It helps point out that the idea of television is changing. I wonder if some of the cell phone viewers will also be in Times Square?
... New York City, the Times Square Alliance, and Countdown Entertainment will provide a free, live satellite feed of New Year's Eve in Times Square to video providers, plus a package of B-roll footage available Dec. 29, with behind-the-scenes and making-of footage.
Eight cameras will capture all the live action, including revelers, fireworks and, of course, the famous ball drop. And old acquaintances with new distribution platforms have not been forgotten.

For the first time, feeds will be available to mobile phone companies and IPTV carriers. The feeds are nonexclusive but meant only for TV programming related to the festivities.
