For the past year, Josh Harris has been trying to get funding for his Wired City concept . It's a crowdsourced Internet TV station where all the viewers are also the broadcasters, multicasting to each other and the World Wide Web. Harris once told me that all he needed was $50 million to build it. I suggested he might want to start with a smaller, less expensive piece of it to prove it out. Now he's taken his idea to Kickstarter , where he is trying to raise $25,000 to build a "net television pilot." That will probably be enough for the uniforms, and might help him secure some angel money to get a real production going. "More importantly," he tells me, "it is a litmus of audience interest in the thing."
