Anyone know more about Barclay Wifi -

Can they really stream hidef video to 19,000 devices simultaneously in hd
via wifi?
Surely they are hitting some spatial limits…..? (eg I know when my old
company sold a DECT platform to the ASX we ran into bandwidth limits for
the number of base stations in a single room)****
Also hinted at here

(and also at Arstechnica where I think the guy said he had a
multi-million dollar budget to get it working )
Basically, looks like a lot of expensive kit from the green giant PLUS a
great deal of attention during installation PLUS lots and lots of
sysadmin time to make it work !
I also seem to recall some interesting eeewwToob demos from xirrus who
also specialise in high density kit.
