Quote :: Fans of pop culture expo Armageddon who can't make it to Auckland this weekend can now enjoy the event in comfort, in front of their computers.

In what it calls a first, TelstraClear will stream live footage of the three-day expo, being held at the Aotea Centre over Labour weekend.

The reason for bringing the expo on-line was to allow more people to be part of the action, TelstraClear corporate communications advisor Andree Froude said.

"People can go along one day and then watch the events on-line the next."

A camera will follow a roaming reporter, who will showcase the action of the expo – include wrestling, eating contests, gaming, and pillow fights.

Celebrities from television series Stargate Atlantis and movies such as Hellboy, Ghostbusters and Superman.

TelstraClear has teamed up with e-cast, who specialise in video streaming and hosting to cover the event.

The footage will be shown on TelstraClear's website www.clearnet.co.nz between 11am and 6pm.

heh, yeah, I spotted it when I was reading the online news the other day. The stuff link's at the start. :) I wonder if they'll let people download it or just view it.
