And I thought it all went by satellite.

No thats

I would imagine that satellites would have too much latency for the web.

Lance · Jun 27, 2008, 21:54:00

I agree, Rik. The latency is evident when UK TV shows do interviews live with someone in the US.

I bet they're careful when digging up the road!
