I don’t think that the encrypted IP boxes are kosher with the content
providers. I would be jumping for joy if that would pass muster. I think I am
going to have to approach the problem head on. If I can convince them either
in mass or one by one that their content is safe I think we can make it work.
Consider two situations:
1) Leased fiber transport to a nearby city with your headend like riding on
it. TV downlink is on a VLAN
2) Leased fiber transport to a nearby city with your internet backbone on
it. TV downlink is on a VPN.
First is kosher second is forbidden. Go figure.

We are going through the same issue with another company right now. They
require encrypted IP "transport boxes" end to end over networks we don't
directly own (transport). It's insane.

It can be easily. It can touch a fairly large content delivery network, but

Is their headend in a datacenter or well connected to major networks already?
We have 2gigs of unused transport into 350 Cermak currently, wonder if it
would be easy to get to from there.

If you are taking just the streams in use, it is about 5 mbps per stream.
If you are taking the whole feed with an edge server at your site, it is
about 2 gbps full time.

How much transport is required and where in utah?

Yes if you have very low cost transport to Utah, so that probably means
no.

We are in Missouri...they are suppose to move customers in June 1st...do
you think we will have the option to get this prior to then?

Right now they are in the midst of a headend move.
So far you will have to be able to get transport to their headend.
Turns out that the content providers are still unhappy with various tunneling
and VPN methods.
If you are in Utah you can probably get the feed.

Did anyone get any more info on this? We are about to go into an
apartment complex and they want us to offer TV service and was curious if
Realchoice has gotten back to anyone.

They have all your email addresses. Hopefully you will get
