Presentations by Alberto Escudero-Pascual, Andrew Garton (Toy Satellite), Tyson Clugg (Melbourne Wireless) and via London, Adam Burns (free2air.org).
Many guests brought laptops, connecting straight into TSwireless with a choice of video and audio streams of the launch available for wireless users and Internet visitors. Streams were mirrored in Sweden and London.

Aims of TSwireless are to identify:
- wireless bandwidth limitations;
- ability for users to program streams;
- possibilities for scheduled streams amongst other free2air hosts at international locations;
- interest in self-managed audio stream (social indicators);
- interest in external programming and commissioning of new works;
- management of copyright and royalty issues;
use as tool within cultural context (i.e. complimenting exhibitions and other related events);
- requirements for the addition of video.
