I think what they're saying is that there's a lot of reinventing the wheel with Red Button. You've basically got 3 platforms: MHEG, Open TV and Liberate. I would guess that there's no 'master feed' of content but instead a goodly amount of internal inefficiency to repurpose the content for all of these platforms and their sub-types. This is probably what they're talking about.

They're not looking at freeing up bandwidth but saving money!
