RE: [mythtv-users] FW: CableLabs

[Dean Collins]

I am Australian but I now spend most of my time in New York, no I don’t work for Telstra I work for myself (adhoc consulting, strategic marketing direction and capital raising).   No I’ve never worked for a broadcaster my last two real jobs were in 1999 as Strategic Directions of a publicly list ISP aggregator (ASX:ISP) and in 2001 as director of a 3 country data centre rollout based in Kuala Lumpur, though at one stage in 1997 I did open the Australian office for Singtel’s international data sales.   My reasoning for being pissed at cablelabs was I was intending to build a super dvr that sat behind the cable networks platform delivering value add smart content, but they are a closed shop with their head in the sand.   My intention now is to make suggestions to the MythTV project on value add ideas to enhance the current offering.     Cheers, Dean       From: Brad Fuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 1 June 2005 6:28 PM To: Dean Collins Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] FW: CableLabs   Dean you must be in Australia. Do you work for Telstra or other broadcast(ish) company?

They are acting like Telstra at it’s worst, very monopolistic and unaware of what’s coming down the pipeline from the dsl IP-TV providers.   Any thoughts?   Cheers, Dean           _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
