[Gloucs] Is there a lawyer in the house ?

[Geoff Bagley]

I think that the present rules were written in the days when, as you 
say,  the PC has a   TV tuner.

The lawyers are always a little behind,  and are "reactive" rather than 
"proactive".

Long may it stay that way. 

How long will it take them to discover simultaneous live streaming  
which already exists  ?

Best regards,

Geoff.
