My first broadcast attempt was from the hotel room using the wired Internet access provided here. So far, I have not found wireless Internet outside the hotel, but it's only been one day and the first half of that was at the International School of Beijing. The second part of the day was at University for Chinese Medicine which did not have wireless Internet available. I had hoped to get a broadcast there, but alas.
Unlike the test run in Littleton, the Ustream.tv broadcast was intermittently washed out by static. I tried the broadcast twice with the same effect. I've been told that there are times when the broadband speeds here in China can get very slow because of congestion at the Internet gateways for the country... perhaps this is contributing to the problem.
Skype seems to work very well. I've already made several video calls and the video does get through with almost no lag time.
So, it is 2AM herre in Beijing which means hgh Noon in Littleton... with my jeg-lagged brain, I am awake and have time to get some video uploaded [;-)
