How about Starting an Online TV Station?

I was impressed by Seattle Wireless TV (via Slashdot). It looked like a formal media (or official media) if there is no "Help Sponsor the Show!" text or the PayPal denote icon.

The host just carries a camera and go out to catch interesting things. In the June 2004 edition, they interviewed Drew from WiFiMaps.com (with Doug Luce of Telarama) and recorded a presentation of Jason Levitt of Less Networks - "How Less Networks and Austin City Wireless Project beat T-Mobile".

The simplest camera is enough. The result can be edited by (almost) free Movie Maker 2 - to add text, subtitle and credit screens.

Start the Same Kind of Station in Shanghai?

It is a silly idea to start any media, especially the network media in China right now. It will be another illegal site. Someone started to use network as a media to setup their own Internet Radio stations (Google Search, Chinese), however, I worry about their future. It may not be a problem if they are small and no one notices them. But what if it goes stronger?

In human's history, control the media and filter/twist information available to the crowd used to be an effective way for the rulers. Many people died for their belief that people have right to know and have the right to say.

Now technologies are changing our lives. Internet unites people with the same interests, hobbies, and belief all over the world, even some from most remote area.

JianShuo, i think it is just a matter of time we hear your voice via WJS Sleepness Shanghai Radio Station.

The media control is gradually loosen up, and eventually it will become independent because of the accession to the WTO.

I've heard of news on statute to restrict media over internet(including video or flash taken on campus) released by chinese government.
that means every legal media over internet must have the sign of: *审字 *********(in chinese)

It may be hard to tell the difference between personal contents and media contents. Obviously you always can put some kind of video/audio on your blog or website, for example the streaming of live shot outside your apartment window as you did befoe. Will it be considered as a program of the WJS TV station? :-)

well. whether it is considered as WJS TV Station depends on which content it has. If you put one or two, I believe it is OK. If you put many, maybe it is also OK. If you post one every day, maybe someone will go and check because they know many people are watching but don't know what you are going to post tomorrow. :-D
