hi,

I don't really think we need to live-cast. We could easily video tape and upload it to Wikimedia Commons.

warm regards,

I remember reading a news items about the plan for indian railways to have some sort of national internet broadband network, riding on top of the existing railway network.

Railtel Corporation of India Ltd, was supposed to provide broadband internet connection in Kerala. Not sure how far the project has advanced.

Couldn't that network be used for such live streaming... just a thought

hi,

I was wondering if they would allow recording equipment to take video of the whole 64,215 km of tracks that the Indian Railway has and release it under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license licensed to Indian Railways.

Crazy but could be done. There are railway enthusiasts.

warm regards,

I wonder if anybody in the Indian Railways or cruise ships would be interested in such a project.

warm regards,

In 2010 the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation made a strange video
production «Bergenbanen» (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Line), a
five hour contineous video streamed live from the train. Now they are
making «Hurtigruta» (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurtigruten), a five
day contineous video from the ships travelling along the Norwegian
coastline. The stream should be available worlwide
(http://www.nrk.no/hurtigruten/). The previous stream about
Bergensbanen is made available under a creative commons license and is
also available at commons
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bergensbanen_1280x720.ogv).

This kind of documentary video should be possible in other contexts
too. What about the steamboat «Skibladner»
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skibladner) at lake Mjøsa? Or the boats
travelling Göta Kanal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ta_Canal)?
In general, what if we could build a rig to make such documentary
videos? Just an idea.

John
