Conditional Access

Years ago (incredible how time passes on), I used to regularly discuss conditional access with SKS when Xpress was posiitoning itself with cable companies. The angle was with Embassy, set top boxes could be built more generically and Embassy could be programmed to allow and charge for the right access depending on what the user had purchased.

Sounded like a big winner but it never came to fruition. But Wave has continually emphasized subscriber management but TPM with Embaasy is the new combination.

One perspective was suggested to me. If Wave can be included on 100's millions of computers (for whatever reason), will they be able to leverage that to different content providers since they can manage the subscription management?

How will Wave be so deployed? The recent discussion about Seagate, never mind Dell, Gateway and Intel suggests there are many ways to be included and then bring access to these customers to content providers.

It's all still a dream but it all seems possible even the share price and the market place just can't believe it.
