David vs Goliath in the hills

[Phillip de Wet] The Oppikoppi music festival, arguably the biggest local music event of the year, will be "broadcast" live on the Internet this weekend. Two things make the coverage remarkable - the remote location and the competition for readership. Internet Goliath M-Web will compete with niche-player DigiNews, publisher of Pretoria Online (www.pta-online.co.za). Both say they will cover the complete event, and both believe they will leave the competition in the dust. The size of the potential audience justifies the fierce competition. More than 13 000 people will gather for three days of original music, and according to SA music gurus, twice that number wish they could be there. Add the international audience to that and you get a large number of potential eyeballs.
