CNN/BBC's satphone video from China made some heads turn -- but what is the potential of mobile remote feeds of broadcast quality DV? Has anyone shot DV, edited FinalCutPro on laptop (or similar laptop non-linear editor) -- AND than fed out compressed final video on an Inmarsat/mobile link?

With ISDN quality mobile uplinks now available, broadcast quality mobile DV feeds seem to be possible, if somewhat slow.

What is the potential for broadcast quality video from the world's least likely locations?
