No, I dont actually know much about the Liberate software. I did however think that liberate was only dealing with the processing of the MPEG stream and had nothing to do with the DOCSIS data. However I could be wrong and would appreciate it being put straight if I am.
On the paying subject, I expect it's yet another vendor financed deal. ntl is not really concerned if it takes off or not, if they are not paying for it.
It does however have the spin off attraction of getting free upgrades done around headends and hubsites like they have done with the VOD project.
I understand some long outstanding work that's nothing to do with VOD is happening around the sites and is being booked to the VOD project so the vendor financing the deal will be paying for it!
Sneaky eh!
