ITN recently used their new uPod Micro uplink system to broadcast live pictures from Mount Everest as part of their ‘Climate Change’ series. This was a regular feature that ran for a week on the Ten O’ Clock news in early December. The Micro satellite uplink was so light that Sherpa’s were able to carry the satellite uplink up the mountain.
