Abstract: An on-line gaming or other activity system utilizing videoconferencing or other communication methods in a broadband network provides remote locations (participants or spectators) with live video/audio of the on-going game or activity occurring at a different location. A network device, such as a videoconferencing unit, at the remote location receives video that includes real-time or live images of actual physical object(s) as presented or utilized during the game or activity (at the other location). The remote participant device is operable for receiving real-time or live video/audio or other user input (at the remote location) and transmitting this information to the game or activity location. This user input information received by the game or activity is operable for controlling, affecting or playing the game/activity at the game/activity location.

Abstract: An antenna support structure (or base station) in a wireless network is provided that supports both an antenna for wireless communications and one or more outdoor images or pictorial messages. The antenna is mounted to the support structure and is operable for receiving and transmitting wireless signals from one or more communications devices located at a remote location allowing for broadband wireless access to the communications device. The antenna support structure also functions as a base station (or repeater/relay station) and wirelessly communicates to a backhaul network.
