In Germany broadcast TV there are two ways to send video nationally over greater distances than microwave allows. One is the tried and true uplink method, yet this is not very cooperative in bad weather. Bad weather and Europe tend to go hand in hand. The other system is the ATM network which is a high bandwidth digital transfer network. This goes in a clockwise or counter-clockwise nationwide "direction" allowing a redundancy mode should one hub be inoperative. The delays introduced are quite significant especially when dealing with live countdowns to news etc. I always have to turn the monitors down so I hear a realtime count through the hybrid lines rather than through the ATM delay.

Just out of interest, why is Margamatix banned? Well, I can guess, but what was the final incident? (Apart from you NASA conspirators' fanatical desire to suppress the voice of Reason, that is.)

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.

It's covered in the "Announcements" section, but essentially he posted some graphic and nasty pictures of someone who'd been executed in the electric chair: a link with a warning he'd have probably got away with, but the pictures straight up were a violation of the Proboards TOS.
