By unified you mean SA/Motorola, right? Not like anyone else will have their
boxes in there. Sure they will. There will be lots of digital cable ready
DTV's in the marketplace, and you're increasingly likely to see boxes from
Digeo, Pace, Panasonic, and others. Rumor has it one major MSO is planning
to imminently announce the rollout of a major market to all-digital
"third-party" (i.e. ADB) OCAP settops. all that being said, if OCAP
eventually accepts Microsoft's offer to include the "dot NET" framework,
thena combination of Oh please no. I am covering my eyes now. As well you
should be!
Like Java's run once, debug everywhere. Processor and flash-restricted STBs
require a very different set of assets and code finetuning to some bloated
STB with a fat CPU and capability to run VMs and display high-resolution
images. Java's "debug everywhere" reputation is far less accurate in
well-defined industry markets, such as MIDP 2.0/JTWI for mobile phones or
MHP/OCAP for DTV.
