Liberty TV Project Invitations

AceNZ,
What if it wasn't approached as one million to start?
What if the per stream cost could be estimated and a subscription was required in order to bootstrap the startup?
What if the subscription was associated with a time slot to manage bandwidth?
The idea is to bootstrap the process, and let the demand drive the problem solving. ie some geographies would not need infrastructure, others might need a lot. Maybe the subscription includes the first seven days for free to help with conversions. Don't mean to be real specific here, just trying to brainstorm.

I also wonder if the production side wouldn't be more valuable at this point than the live distribution. ie What if the grassroots funded a three man crew, camera, sound, and computer that would follow Dr. Paul and everytime he had a campaign speech a quality video was released to freeme.tv? I would assume he has at least one public appearance with his supporters most days. I'm guessing that a number of campaign appearances never make it to youtube.

Consider that Obama and Hillary each raised $100M last year, and that many of their supporters have to be net savy, and many of them may find appeal in Dr. Paul's foreign policy. As the election evolves the emptiness of these democratic candidate's position is going to become more apparent. These voters will be a key demographic needed to win the election and a daily TV program may help bring them to the RPR. We sure can't count on the MSM.

The campaign has posted a list of academics and important supporters. A crew should be going around and collecting ten minute spots from them that are willing to share their expertise.

The RPR has broken all kinds of new ground with this Revolution. LibertyTV seems like the next logical step. It wold be newsworthy on its own. I hope we can keep this discussion evolving.

My view on this is that:

1. I don't think it makes good business sense to build a company based on technology that isn't fully mature yet. If it's not ready to deliver to 1M subscribers today, then why bother with a slow-ramp-up, since we know we'll hit a technical limit quickly if we're successful.

2. Charging a subscription fee is a bad idea because it would drive away the middle class and the poor, who are key parts of our desired audience.


Let's move the rest of this discussion into the Private forum area...
 
I would like to help as well. By this December I will have a degree in Information Science and technology. I want to help in any way I can for this cause. Please PM or private message me.
 
I think having a full blown station to compete with other msm networks would be better.
