An Overview of Webcasting for Local Authorities
The document provides an overview of the possible reasons for webcasting, the experiences to date that Local Authorities have had with webcasting and provides some guidance as to the best way of using this technology as an effective communication tool. It does not cover supplier selection or the technical implementation of a webcasting project. It is not intended to provide a complete blueprint for a webcasting project but should be a useful starting point for anyone considering webcasting any kind of content.

Mobile, wireless interactive webcasting
The existing market systems offer a mobile webcasting unit but this is fairly bulky and depends upon the remote venue having ADSL telephone connections available. The emphasis on connecting the community to the democratic process needed to ensure that this system was usable more broadly. Given that wireless broadband is being developed in Lewisham, this opportunity for more universal use was taken by developing 3 different mobile, and wireless-enabled models. A notable success of this mobile system is the ability to be interactive, incorporating an SMS Gateway.

Webcasting: Community focus
The project produces research from ‘real’ webcast events in the rural community of North Lincolnshire. This includes the remote viewing of council meetings in a village hall (i.e. no home computer required) and proof of concept for a satellite uplink during a webcast from the community.
