An LG management employee verified the statements accuracy though I'm not free to provide attribution to this, or other forums. Unfortunately we did not learn what motivated this decision, one which has led to much diverse and interesting speculation. I do know that this decision is very dissappointing to the FOTA broadcast community. However, I'm certain that other industries will applaud LG's strategy, whatever it may be. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Schubin" <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 10:48 AM Subject: [opendtv] Re: Zenith/LG NOT announcing new STB's based upon 5'th gen chip > The statement has been verified to my satisfaction.
