More on Super SUVs

The New York Times is writing about the pair of Fox News "Election Link" SUV's that are on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire. Loyal Am/Mex readers will remember seeing those live internet streaming SUV's somewhere... a blog perhaps?... oh yeah, right here, last week. Anyway, they seem to be here to stay because A., they're cheaper than satellite trucks and B., tech toys are hard to resist in the news business. Expect major newspapers to be jumping on the bandwagon soon.

I think the Fox News SUV might be something a little different from the StarCar... The NYT article doesn't describe it very well, but calls it a "sat truck"? So is does it use a sat signal to transmit? Or is it over the Internet via cell signal? I wish we could find a more technical explanation.

Nope, the Star Car and the Election Link SUV's are indeed the same thing my friend. I promise.
