Maybe we just didn't have this magic internet in my area in 1995, but how exactly were they webcasting a TV show live online, from the middle of the woods, miles from civilization, in 1995, with no cell phones? He was also sitting in his tent on IRC.
shareThat's a question I was wondering as well. I mean, we didn't have wireless in Australia in 1995 so I just assumed America did, but did it?
If not, thats a huge plot flaw.
When I first saw The Last Broadcast, I was wondering the same thing. However, I believe in the commentary the filmmakers mention something about a "ham radio" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham_radio) which even in 1995 could've allowed them to access the internet.
Then again, the data recovery specialist in the film uses the damaged tape as if it were celluloid, so I guess we're just supposed to suspend disbelief.

I don't know if you can access the net using a ham radio, however the filmmakers state in the commentary that it probably could be possible. Then again, I guess anything is possible.

I played around with this back in the early 90s although you could access data its speed was extremely limited

shareAs I recall, they weren't using the internet. They were just broadcasting a TV signal from the woods as part of their show. That tech goes back to the 1930s.
