Let's see; the article is clearly pre-NAB hype. This time of year, the trade pubs seem to always come up with new electronic newsletters to push such crap, and I have to block them, since I only signed on for one newsletter (and have gotten dozens). When I saw an extremely brief sample (something like 30 seconds in a three hour meeting) of this at a Triveni seminar last year, I asked a proud Gomer Thomas of Triveni if it was based on ACAP (now an ATSC and SCTE standard, hence almost universal in the U.S.), he told me and the assembled engineers the answer was no. So, you see, it's really a dead-end IP plan looking for victims, er, customers. The user interface was very reminiscent of WebTV. They may talk about LCD screens, but the system doesn't use half the potential of the screens. And, isn't it a pull model in a field where emergency notifications need push? John Willkie Kon Wilms wrote Yeah, they finally figured it out after 6 years. Also, they don't use existing emergency alerting standards like Common Alerting Protocol or Emergency Data Exchange Language. Cheers Kon > They are not the first.. the article is misleading... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
