@curious Stewards vision is up. Now tell me what you think and if it is different to the Stewards view.

Why?

You were on a roll until that sentence. The 'Social License" construct is a nonsense. As for your posts all you are doing is feeding the Anti-Racing very small minority or the underperformed disenfranchised. Ironically that last group doesn't want to give you the freedom to speak! Go figure!

FFS microwave transmission was last used in the '80s

I hate AI. Actually AI is an oxymoron. Artificial - yes. Intelligence - no. Actually @Murray Fish can you ask AI what intelligence is?

It is only a one handed job so you could eat/drink and work! Also you could shorten the time by getting the raceday stipes to do the testing while they watched the pre-race track gallop.

There may not be but there is down racecourse road. In fact I doubt there are many racecourses that arent. Of course Kumara doesnt which is another reason why they should have ditched it and kept Hokitika.

Ok.

An Hour? Take 10 mins. Have preinstalled mounts - take the kit out of the box - clip it in. Use an app on your phone to check the direction of the satellites and align dish. Plug in a couple of WiFi repeaters. Walk around and test.

I just don't get the "significant labour" requirement.

Who or what is "RCP"?

Telstra have a partnership with Starlink to provide remote services in Australia.

Yes but if the NZ Telco provided either a satellite link or a fibre connection then they could have leveraged off that to deliver oncourse WiFi. Perhaps they are using their Australian based Telco to work with Starlink or Starlink direct.

That's what I thought but wasn't there a requirement for Racecourses to have fibre connections?

I've been suggesting this type of access for a long time. Interesting how they have used Starlink instead of piggy-backing off their Telco contract. Next step will be cutting costs on terminal operators which is a good thing.
