    "This is pure bullshit. Telstra was not demonstrating a video hologram, or even a static hologram. A quick check on numerous websites or in many books explains what a hologram really is and the most obvious attribute is that it appears to be a 3D object. Not a 2D image on a screen. In their defense, Telstra and the media are only parroting what the company that supplies this technology is saying.

    What Telstra demonstrated was projecting a video onto a screen."

    Even more strange is what technology is being used to cart the video camera signal from one city to the other... Internet? No. Digital network of some sort? No. Old analog TV network which is being phased out soon.... Bingo... Nice promo, great idea, love to see more of it - pity Telstra is to shut down the very network being used to carry the signals.
