“Already, we have signed up several broadcasters in the African continent, including NTV in Kenya and SABC. Recognizing the challenges that media face in Africa, we are happy to offer a broadcast license and Google Earth Pro for 3 users for free to any broadcaster who will commit to using it on air. given that a national broadcast license normally costs $10,000 and a Google Earth Pro license costs $400, we are happy to be able to provide something of real value to media in Africa,” concluded Jesse Friedman.

Whether you’re working in TV, online, mobile, film, or beyond, licensing and permissions procedures govern your use of Google Earth and Maps in media. The basics are outlined on Google’s pages. For further details please consult the Permissions page. See www.google.com/earth/media/
