>Experience with Previous General Conference Internet Broadcast
>
>Over 80,000 members and friends of the Church participated when
> LDSWorld.com broadcast the October 1999 General Conference via the
>Internet. Some problems during the first hour of the Saturday morning
>session of that initial broadcast were overcome and the broadcast was very
>successful; when conference was over, the comments from around the world
>were overwhelming.
>
>One listener wrote: "I live in Chile, I am a member of the Church since
>1985, [this] was my first experience listening [to] the General Conference
>of the Church in live. Thank you for this opportunity."
>
>Another listener from Australia added this: "I've never listened to a
>Church broadcast before, I really wanted to hear the conference live so I
>awoke at 2am to listen to the broadcast."
>
>And among the thousands of other comments was this one from Brazil: "What
>a marvelous blessing it was for us to be able to hear General Conference
>in our own language! Without doubt, the Lord has inspired men to develop
>technologies that permit the gospel to be taken to all people, giving all
>the opportunity to be taught by leaders of God in these last days . . . .
>We had three families here today, everyone very quiet and taking notes of
>the talks. We talked for a long time after the session about the gospel
>and how happy we are to be members of the Church."
