alt Hacker News>You can doubt it all you want, ISDN is used internally in broadcast all over the world
Since you claim to be a domain expert, give me hard named examples with independently verifiable links. At this stage I want facts, not anecdotes.
Because right now, my semi-educated guess is they are all using IP-based streaming codecs and protocols for remote contributions, outside broadcast, studio links and pretty much everything else under the sun.
No, he's right. I have a friend who does voiceover work and is and announcer for the UK Channel 4. He does all his work from home using an ISDN link. It's a huge pita for him because the telcos don't want to know indeed, but it's the usual story with legacy workflows.
I think it's also a fully switched system so you are guaranteed bandwidth with no packet drops or buffering which is clearly useful for broadcast work.
