In this paper we argue that a broadcast-centric solution can be enabled to provide educational services, in particular distance learning, to an entire region. This solution can provide equity access to resources for all schools in a large region, or access for undergraduates and postgraduates students to an open regional university. The approach described includes a combination of broadcast delivery and local redistribution of content and/or direct and interactive access to the content over the broadcast infrastructure. It requires that special consideration be given to the organization of content for distribution in this manner, therefore those issues are discussed. Enabling technologies are described.
