network problems
Believe it or not but at present Jokkmokk seems to be cut off from the internet! The Jokkmokk festival page is down, the city web page is down, the city network does not seem to work, and our team cannot stream/blog from the school where the concert is going to happen in about 45 mins. Hopefully the network will come back online soon… Is there anyone out there who knows anything about this? Has it got anything to do with the fact that Telia’s mobile net is also very unreliable (with so many people in Jokkmokk)?
Update: We are still hoping for the best. We will start the stream as soon as we possibly can. And we will also record the event (until the network comes back to life). We are presently checking network status with Telia. We will report back shortly. We will also to do audio blogs while we are waiting.
Update 2: After having talked to various people at Telia and elsewhere (and maybe I will blog this not too encouraging experience later) we do not know much more than before. Major network problem and beyond our control. Anton has set up a very well set-up network in the school and everything worked very well when we tested earlier. But with no outside-Jokkmokk connection it does not really matter. Well, we did say that the stream was somewhat experimental… What we will do however is to do audio blogging (and the audio blogs do give you a sense of the whole thing), record the whole concert and stream it later (we will post info about this on the blog later). If the network were to come back to live we will immediately start the live broadcast of course. Thanks for your attention and sorry about this!
