  • Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches
    October 27, 2008 Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches Comcast Corporation and Panasonic have announced the first deployment of Tru2way™ bidirectional digital cable technology. Tru2way was developed by CableLabs based on the OpenCable™ specification and is a Java-based open application platform. It is being promoted as a digital CableCARD™ system that enables two- way communication between a digital-cable-ready TV set or other device and a cable operator’s head end to provide viewers with a rich interactive experience. According to a statement from Panasonic, “the technology creates a common software platform that will enable cable companies, consumer electronics companies, content developers, network programmers and others to extend interactivity to the TV set and other kinds of devices.” On October 15, 2008, Comcast activated the technology on its cable systems in Chicago and Denver. Panasonic HDTV sets with tru2way capability were also made available at selected retail outlets in these areas. The new Panasonic 42” and 50” Viera sets have built-in tru2way CableCARD slots enabling consumers to receive the cable electronic program guide and access two-way digital cable programming, like video on demand, pay-per-view, and other services, without a cable operator-supplied set-top box. To see the announcement from Panasonic and Comcast click here. Another announcement, from the Consumer Electronics Association, is available here. The advantage of the bidirectional cable card for consumers is that it removes the need for another set- top device around the TV and potentially reduces the equipment fee cable operators charge to lease their set-top components.

  • When Mobile TV Meets the Internet and Social Networking by Marie-Jo
    The Future of Mobile TV: When Mobile TV meets the Internet and Social Networking By Marie-José Montpetit, Natalie Klym, and Emmanuel Blain 1 Introduction Over the last few years, online video services and telco IPTV have rocked the traditional model of television. As content delivery moves to an all-IP platform, connecting old and new providers to a growing array of increasingly personal and multi-purpose devices over fixed and mobile networks, the TV experience has become extremely versatile. Mobile TV is not immune to these upheavals, and is itself a disruptive force. In fact, it will soon make little sense to think of mobile TV as distinct from TV in general. Rather, it will be an integral part of an increasingly rich TV experience. This chapter provides a vision for the future of mobile TV as it evolves from standalone to integrated service. This shift will be examined in context of the more general transformation of television, with a focus on the recent integration of social networking. Our vision will thus build towards community-based approaches that harness the power of individuals, from their technologies to their behaviors. We begin by redefining mobile TV, and then give a brief overview of the key trends related to the television infrastructure and industry landscape. From there, we outline the mobile TV ecosystem of content, connections, and devices in more detail, and then demonstrate the growing importance of service features in this new environment, particularly in terms of integrating mobile and social TV. We would like to point out up front that many of the scenarios described in the paper are fraught with issues related to usability, technical difficulties, business models, and/or legalities.

On October 29, 2009 Robert Gessner, President of Massillon Cable TV, Inc., and I had two meetings with FCC staff in order to discuss Massillon's cable television digital transition process and to advise the Commission on two consumer issues that arose during the transition to a full digital system. First, the absence of SimulCrypt technology in Motorola and Cisco headends may be artificially limiting competition for price and features among set top boxes. Second, an obligation to encrypt basic standard definition channels (and thus defeat Clear QAM) may limit consumer choice and could artificially raise the cost ofdelivering service to consumers by requiring a set top box for standard definition basic service. Massillon suggested that a Notice of Inquiry concerning SimulCrypt and Clear QAM might be appropriate. In addition to the oral presentations, we provided FCC attendees with the attached written materials. Our first meeting was with Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and Rick Kaplan, Commissioner Clyburn's Acting Legal Advisor, Media and Chief of External Affairs. The second meeting was with William Friedman, Acting Senior Legal Advisor to Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sony Electronics Inc. (“SEL”) supports measures that will encourage the rapid and widespread deployment of “AllVid” adapter/gateway devices by all Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (“MVPDs”). An all-MVPD adapter/gateway device will at long last foster meaningful competition among service providers and device manufacturers. Such a solution will not only unlock innovation, but also will enable the competition in consumer set-top boxes that Congress and the Commission have long desired. A universal AllVid/gateway device will mark a natural, evolutionary step in the progression of television over time. In the first 50 or so years of television (the era of TV 1.0), consumers received video through one technology—a national standard that applied to all over-the-air broadcasts. This model encouraged a great deal of innovation and competition, but it could not withstand the march of technology. In the 1970s and 1980s, as the country entered the era of TV 2.0, consumers entered the MVPD age, first through cable operators and then through direct broadcast satellite services (and more recently through services provided by telephone companies).
