So what is “Over-the-top (OTT)” technology? NBC owned: Watch it anytime! A low cost “streaming player”. Remote portable cell supported uplink. SD/720P/1080iHD – pay for quality level. Replacing M/W hops across country…watch any local news from any location. Claim to replace “HBO” 4 times it’s past highest success year. Live broadcasting via Twitter username from any mobile device …These technologies have the capability of creating “your own channel”…a social network channel. (ie iCarley: Disney show)
– Live Mobile Broadcasting

32.4 Super Complicated Sites: Mount Sutro Case Study #4 Super-complicated sites at New York and Chicago tall building rooftops, similar to Mount Sutro, will involve extensive time for planning, permits, approvals, community relations, and budgeting. At some locations, there is capacity for interim operations and some final operations thanks to broadband antennas already in place (4 Times Square - NY, Willis Tower - Chicago, Mount Sutro – San Francisco). Complications can easily arise, for instance at 4 Times Square, there are two UHF broadband antennas optimized to Ch and Ch That installation, as currently configured, will be problematic for lower UHF channels. The new One World Trade building in New York is “ready” for antennas, transmitters, and combiners – the building is waiting for the broadcasters and the broadcasters are waiting for FCC action. Some concern over building penetration has been raised regarding increased height and a corresponding reduction in power. This case study (Sutro Tower) is an example of a super-complicated site with multiple channel reassignment. The cost elements and time estimates used in this case study were derived from direct interviews with individuals responsible for the site. As a super complicated site, the costs are not typical and are specific to this site and, as such, are not directly reflected in the Catalog of Potential Expenses and Estimated Costs.
