Conditional access is easiest. No physical connection, no access. Why
do you think they "pull your tap" at the pole when you don't pay for
cable?<br>

Encryption is not required once the content is at your premises.<br>

<pre wrap="">Certain content providers require encryption/conditional-access -- best of
luck trying to get them to approve an opensource DRM. You need all the
funding and resources of companies like Verimatrix, Widevine, Latens,
Irdeto, Nagravision, etc to make that happen.
>From my perspective, if a telco wants to provide IP TV, after all the market
and business research, the next thing to work on is content and encryption.
The middleware, STBs, and network generally falls into place after that.
Fortunately, there are companies that will help with the content licensing
process (i.e. TeleChannel, National Telco TV Consortium, NRTC, and NCTC).

Can you expand on that a bit?
You mean delivery to end users vs wholesale?

I figure I should start another thread about this....

Still figuring out IPTV infrastructure/architecture. Any good
books/papers on this? The wikipedia page is pretty complete.
TvHeadEnd <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lonelycoder.com/hts/">http://lonelycoder.com/hts/</a> seems fairly mature.
Toroid <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.toroid.tv/">http://www.toroid.tv/</a> is fairly new.
Motama <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.motama.com/">http://www.motama.com/</a> is a pretty mature project.
I recently read an article in light reading covering Cisco solutions.

and some interesting links to other tests they had done (like the CRS1).
