Heard of
Justin.TV before? I
wrote about it before long long time ago, er, not very long. I am fan of Justin.tv, very cool.
Well, I have think about how to run your own Justin.tv in Malaysia. We don't have EVDO wireless broadband here, but we do have 3G. Edge too, but Edge might bit too slow. It will be best with HSPDA.
First of all, you must get yourself a portable laptop with high capacity battery. A very light one and feel comfortable when carry around and also a web camera with build in microphone.
Then, get yourself subscribe to 3G/HSPDA unlimited data plan, either via Maxis or Celcom. I myself would recommend
Maxis because my area have HSPDA for speed as fast as 1.8mbps, but
Celcom have more coverage over other states.
AFAIK, only a few states in Malaysia have HSPDA service, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. There are many states have 3G coverage already, like Kuching, Johor, Perak, Kedah, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.
Now, get a cell phone which last longer when 3G connection on OR best with a HSPDA adapter for your laptop. Why it's best using HSPDA adapter? Because most phones suck a lot of battery usage when 3G on, so like standby time can go until 3-5 days but with 3G on, I think is half to a day.
Last part, set up the Internet connection, wear your cam over your head or anywhere, start broadcasting at
blogtv.com or request invitataion at
Justin.tv then start your broadcasting. Pack everything into your bag and start moving =D.
NOTE : Not only Malaysian can do this, if you are from other country and have 3G connection or EVDO then you can have YOURS.TV broadcast on the net and show the world your interesting 24/7 life.
Well, you can make money with it as long as there are viewers that watching you. Sponsors will come and look for you very soon. Look at Justin, he is making money from his sponsors.
That's all and it's a simple guide for you to make your own Justin.TV, hope you will like it.
