e.Digital Corporation (fka EDIG)

"I just ran the question by Robert. His response was that outside of Alaska Airlines, each DigEplayer application is a seperate negotiation. APS is the preferred vendor for the airline application but is not exclusive. Sharing arrangement is also dictated by who brings the deal to the table.

As far as non-airline applications, the same rules apply. It is certainly easier for other entities (APS for example) to market the video player and leave e.Digital do what they do best. It would also require another entity to service the equipment since Rockwell is limited to the airline industry."

Do you could clear this part up for me? Was it your impression that RP was saying that EDIG was free to market the digEplayer (or some variant) through another IFE vendor to an airline. If so that would be great news and opens up the possibility for a heavyweight to pick up the product. It seems a bit hard to believe because despite EDIG having designed the player, the concept appears to have been APS' brainchild. Was it your understanding that regardless of who markets the player or arranges the deal, EDIG owns the design and will get a cut?
