The HP Road Show
It's hard to find a more fun and challenging environment than one day technical events in a venue that no one has seen before.
It's also hard to find a major corporation that is willing to work with New Media and adapt on the fly to our somewhat quirky needs.
We have been exceptionally lucky on both counts. On March 11, 2010, SDRNews mobilized Andy and Jeffrey Powers of Geekazine, with another backpack studio operation to provide basic coverage of an event for Hewlett Packard, through IVY Worldwide.
We has a great location, and, after some DNS server issues, were able to get on an external (outside the HP firewall) LAN connection, without relying upon the EVDO / Cradlepoint combination which as become such an essential part of our field kit in live coverage of events.
What we could not account for was instability at uStream.tv. During the first hours of the morning coverage, our viewer count was moving smoothly from start-up to over 200 viewers. We were confident that we would hit the 600 mark from the HP Tech Forum, and with the good luck to be a featured channel on the uStream.tv iPhone app.
