How long before "real time" imagery?

Or will the military secret people put a stop to that one? Imagine news broadcasts where you could go online and see the journo, the army and the "insurgents/locals getting rid of thieving army of invaders stealing their country's wealth" having a pitch battle, live!

Or football, motor racing, etc, but u can control the image you see.

Or your boss checking that the traffic really is as bad as you say it is, using the sat-nav locator in your company car to check where you really are.

Or parents/police checking on kids to see they are safe/commiting crime.

Combine this with CCTV, tagging of the public using their mobiles/cars and we are in for an interesting future.

Adverts changing on billboars depending on who is driving towards them, time of day/customer foot fall.

I've just had a great idea, seriously.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
