00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.050
John Contestabile: We as consumers
take for granted having broadband

2
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:09.050
technology. We can get access
to information that your average law

3
00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:13.590
enforcement or public safety
official doesn't nessesarilly have access to.

4
00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:16.650
Clay Stamp: Whats really important
is that we be able to drive information

5
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:21.650
to our police, firefighters and paramedics
in a timely manner.

6
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:24.700
John Contestabile: We want to bring some of those capabilities to the

7
00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:27.730
first responder and this project
on datacasting is one of those efforts.

8
00:00:27.730 --> 00:00:30.760
Mark O'Brien: Every television
station operates on a

9
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.800
six megahertz channel. Twenty
megabits is coming

10
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:37.830
out of every transmitter all the time
every television station all over

11
00:00:37.830 --> 00:00:41.880
the United States. What the
process of datacasting is allocating

12
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.900
a portion of that twenty megabits
to sending out encrypted computer

13
00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:49.910
data. And so here comes public
and the ability to

14
00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:52.950
deliver that digital information today.
15
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:55,990

15
00:00:52.950 --> 00:00:52.950
model that also allows

16
00:00:55.990 --> 00:00:59.020
encryption, it allows us an
opportunity to send

17
00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:03.040
secure information over a network.
You have this tv signal that can be

18
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:06.080
subscribed to that we don't have
worry about someone else getting.

19
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:09.140
This is protected at a level
much greater then where we are today.

20
00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:12.140
John Contestabile: Video increasingly
is important to the public safety community.

21
00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:15.200
because they can get eyes
on whatever they're responding to

22
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.210
whatever they're walking into.

23
00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:21.220
Lt. Bret Collier: we have folks that are
watching cameras 24 hours a day so

24
00:01:21.220 --> 00:01:24.270
when something happens
they'll report to the officer what they're

25
00:01:24.270 --> 00:01:27.280
seeing. But something always gets
lost in the translation.

26
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.340
the advantage to this is
we can send that video directly
27
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,350
to the officers. They can look at an image
and know exactly what they're looking at.

27
00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:36.370
Mark O'Brien: The idea of
being able to share information

28
00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:39.450
with ten or a hundred or a
thousand or a million people
30
00:01:39,450 --> 00:01:43,480

29
00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:39.450
community. And thats one of the

30
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.510
the many reasons they
have an interest
in working with public television

31
00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:51.510
to address these issues.
