Like many here have already stated; "Tournament Poker needs a shot clock". It seems so abundantly clear that it's an absolute no-brainer and one would think it'd be readily accepted by players, directors and media alike. It solves every problem from players not wanting to portray tells by acting too quickly or slowly to blind level concerns to equalizing the amount of hands seen by all participants to media planning.

It's done in chess, at all levels, which contains infinitely more complexed facets to consider, considerations which multiply both in number and complexity as the game progresses. It would be so easy to implement as each participant is given a timer they must initiate on their turn. I could even see a scenario, much like in chess, in which each player is given X amount of minutes to be used at each blind level; perhaps further equalizing the quantity of hands seen by all  tables and adding strategic time management decisions to the game. Not to mention completely eliminating all questions of etiquette and players policing players and becoming vilified for enforcing, what they feel to be, their rights.
