“I’ve been covering high school football for FOX 4 in Kansas City for a quarter century, and I've have never seen any type comprehensive coverage like that provided by PrepsKC!  Big schools, small schools, Kansas or Missouri, best of all, it's sanctioned by the coaches themselves!”

How would PrepsKC use the Gig A Bit Network?

Our team pages on prepskc.com are constantly evolving.  (http://www.prepskc.com/teams.php)

If we had the resources, PrepsKC could get an HD camera in front of each of the 142 schools we cover.  Using students / and or teachers, --and the Gig A Bit Network---you could literally video the game broadcast in HD live and post it to each of our team pages and would have no issues with streaming, downloading , etc
