The Maui News reports that Akaku will broadcast this morning’s hearing in Judge Cardoza’s courtroom, scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
Still no notice on Akaku’s web site or indication of which channel the live feed will be available on. I guess it will take a little trial and error.

it is not on TV, but it is streaming live on Akaku.org
and as soon as the hearing finishes the archive will be available within 5 minutes, according to the Akaku techs on the chat…
hearing scheduled for Nov. 14
That was amazing to be able to watch that hearing from Kauai in real time. Akaku rocks. You know, if the established media are worried about these democratizing technological developments, they could capitalize on them. They have the resources and equipment to be providing the community with this kind of unfiltered information. It pisses me off whenever they discuss some court filing or document, and I know they have a copy of it, yet they don’t post it on their web site.
Hi, my name is Christian Holmes, I engineered the Akaku streaming system.
We did stream the hearing and will be streaming the subsequent hearings! I will try post notification on the website sooner…it was sort of short notice this time. At least we were on the front page of Maui news (and KGMB9’s site apparently).
well you kick ass Christian. I thank you. I live blogged the hearing today as it streamed and I’ll be doing the same for the upcoming hearings, thanks to you. As a ‘free lance’ legal analyst, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you provide the content. I attended and blogged the Kauai hearings but as much as I’d love to I can’t fly to frickin Maui. You rock. I owe you a drink.
It was awesome to be able to watch the hearing. I caught the “instant replay” just after it finished, when I returned home.
This is the wave of the future. Suddenly, people are able to transcend time and space. It was like being in the courtroom except I didn’t have to pay any Superferry to get me there. And I’m not beholden to KHON or other stations for my six minute limited news bite. Akaku and public access TV were right there the whole time.
By the way, over here on Oahu several people are bringing their laptops and webcams to meetings. The November 14 meeting of a broadband task force will be streamed by Burt Lum, who is attending the meeting. I can stay home but still watch it (or text Burt to participate!). Several previous meetings here and there have been streamed either by Burt or by Ryan Ozawa (or both, sometimes).
Akaku is leading the way, and right behind them are a hopefully growing number of amateurs willing to bring public events to the public.
Stay tuned.
