I"m not sure why you linked that.
"Skynet 3
Was cut due to budget restrictions, the capability being delivered using US assets. This dependence was identified as a weakness during the Falklands war and was one of the contributing factors for the emergence of the Skynet 4 tranche of space vehicles.[citation needed]"
Skynet 2 and 1 being both failures and geostationary, they were either not in position or lacked the bandwdith to do what are you talking about.

this is all a diversion over over the nonsense that Baird did not invent the television or mechanical television is not real television its like saying that a film camera is not a real camera because it is not digital
all electronic tv did not happen until the 1930s TV evolves like outher technology”

Theres no confusion on my side. There is confusion on your side where you make either too much or too little of things to suit your argument. Special events with long prepreration times and budgets like the olympics are entirely different than something like the falklands. The idea that there was a complete free to use video satellite network that covered places like the falklands does not wash with reality. At the time the uk was so short on even military satellites they had to borrow american assetts.

Did you even read the wiki quote before you posted it? It says it took 20 minutes to transfer a frame on that "borrowed" network. Yet you think it should have been as easy as broadcasting the olympics.

Nationalism I guess. He just "knows", which is how he gives baird credit for things like bluray.





Yikes - How f***ing much !!!
