How much does a feed cost these days? This has been up all day with the same camera on a roof top near the harbour, a mix of live inserts to BBC World, headlines from Ben Brown and some interviews for later plus a couple of reports sent over to London. They've also been watching a warship and landing craft off the coast.

Don't know how much a feed nowadays cost......but way back in 1997 when I used to work with a Sat comm company we used to pay Sterling 25K per quarter for an uplink of 512 k/bit carrier and a downlink of 128k/bit, no Modulation, that came at an extra cost depending on the amount of channels used.
