Titolo: Le bugie di NDS a riguardo CAM NDS

Il problema e' che NDS non da licenza per produrre la CAM nascondendosi
dietro al fatto "che nessuno dei LORO clienti abbia mai richiesto la CAM"
(cosa ampiamente smentita dall'accordo con Viasat )
questa e' stata la risposta di NDS:
In response to your question regarding CAMs, I have to inform you that NDS
delivers solutions as requested by our customers. To date, none of our
customers have requested a CAM for their end customers and none have been
delivered. With regards to Sky Italia, I am unable to comment specifically
on any customers' plans and therefore would have to request that you to
speak directly with them concerning their approach to CAMs.
Thank you for your enquiry and I am sorry I am unable to comment
specifically on Sky Italia.
Kind regards
In risposta alla sua domanda la devo informare che NDS sviluppa soluzioni su
richiesta dei propri clienti. Ad oggi, nessuno dei nostri clienti ci ha
chiesto di sviluppare un modulo CAM per i suoi clienti finali e niente
quindi č mai stato realizzato.
In merito alla vicenda di Sky Italia, io non sono in grado di commentare in
modo specifico i progetti dei nostri singoli clienti e perciň le devo
chiedere di rivolgersi direttamente a loro in merito alle loro intenzioni
verso i moduli CAM.
La ringrazio per la sua domanda e sono dispiaciuto di non averle saputo
rispondere su Sky.

NDS and SCM Microsystems Debut Open End-To-End Digital Cable Solution for
Korea
NDS shows proven conditional access solution for Korean OpenCableT
broadcasting
SCM Microsystems brings world's leading removable security platform to Korea
's digital cable TV roll-out
Seoul, KOREA - July 31, 2002 - NDS Group plc, a News Corporation company and
a leading provider of technology solutions for digital pay TV, today
announced it has completed development of an open end-to-end cable TV system
for the Korea cable TV market in conjunction with strategic partner SCM
Microsystems (Nasdaq: SCMM, Neuer Markt: SMY).
The parties will demonstrate the end-to-end system at the inaugural meeting
of the Korea Digital Cable Forum in Seoul on July 30, 2002. The system
utilizes NDS's Open VideoGuardT conditional access security in an OpenCableT
POD (Point of Deployment) module developed and manufactured by SCM
Microsystems, running on an OpenCable set-top box from LG Electronics.
The Korean government is preparing to deploy digital cable television to
between five and eight million households in Korea over the next five years.
Cable TV broadcasts will be secured through traditional encryption
procedures, but will be decrypted by subscribers via removable security
modules rather than proprietary set-top boxes.
Ms. Sue Taylor, Vice President and General Manager of NDS Asia Pacific Ltd.
said, "NDS's Open VideoGuard conditional access supports over 28 million
subscribers worldwide. NDS has been a pioneer in the push to insure
interoperability between set-top boxes and POD security modules through
OpenCable. For Korean cable TV broadcasters upgrading to digital, this
solution delivers the reliability of NDS's conditional access technology
with the flexibility to be deployed on multiple set-top boxes. The solution
is ready for deployment today."
"As the pioneer of removable security for Digital TV broadcasts, SCM
supports the goals of the Korean government in adopting OpenCable for its
digital cable TV roll-out," said Robert Schneider, chief executive officer
of SCM Microsystems. Removable security forms the base for an open
standards-based digital television industry that is both competitive for
consumers and profitable for operators. "We are pleased to be working with
our long-time partner, NDS, to develop and deliver an end-to-end OpenCable
solution for the Korean market."
Korean OpenCable POD solution
Each of the partners presents a solution that builds on their unique
capabilities. SCM Microsystems manufactures the OpenCable Point of
Deployment (POD) module to securely decrypt broadcast signals for authorized
subscribers. SCM initially developed the OpenCable POD hardware platform for
the US digital TV market, and the POD standard has now been selected by the
Korean government for that country's digital cable deployment. Together, SCM
and NDS previously created an NDS version of the POD module for the US
marketplace and the companies are now developing a specific NDS version for
the Korean market. NDS Open VideoGuard is the conditional access security
for digital cable TV broadcasting that ensures viewers pay for what they
watch and also enables interactive TV services.
The OpenCable POD module is a removable, hardware device that encapsulates
conditional access and security functionality, and which can be slotted into
any OpenCable-based set-top box. The use of the POD module enables the
broadcast signals to be securely decrypted by multiple set-top boxes, while
providing greater flexibility to the operator's business plans and
conforming to standards as set forth in the OpenCable specifications.
The Korean government has selected OpenCable standards for cable TV
broadcasting operations in the country. OpenCable is a set of specifications
originally developed by Cable Television Laboratories (CableLabsŽ) for the
North American cable TV market. Standards Organization Telecommunications
Technology Association (TTA) will be establishing a test lab to test set-top
boxes in Korea for compliance with OpenCable standards.

Ma che bel naso lungo hanno in NDS.
Bye.

 questa e' stata la risposta di NDS:
Naturalmente... loro le hanno prodotte ma non concederanno mai la licenza a
terzi. Le distribuiranno solo se una battaglia legale li metterą alle corde.
-- 
Ciao
Al


Io non so' chi le abbia prodotte materialmente per Viasat fatto sta che sono
state prodotte dietro licenza di NDS per un LORO cliente
(Viasat/A2B)....quindi sono e restano BUGIARDI.
Idem si puo' dire a proposito di NDS e SCM Microsystems Debut Open
End-To-End Digital Cable Solution for Korea.
Sono BUGIARDI.
Bye.

 Sono BUGIARDI.
