Just a few days back fed up with the signal quality of a few channels that were put in the far end of the spectrum, I called my local cable guy and told him to remove the connection as I would be moving to DTH. He asked me to try the new digital Set Top Box that they were about to install. I agreed thinking what could I possibly lose? I was completely surprised when the new set top box was installed. The picture and sound quality was just like DTH. All my favourite channels were available and where of uniform quality. I am not the lone case. Cable operators across India in non CAS notified metros are migrating their networks to digital from their old analog systems in a big way. This is in the face of stiff competition from DTH operators who are weaning away a large number of cable subscribers with their better services.

Platform Microsoft’s client/web platform offerings span Windows to the Web, and include emerging surfaces such as the media/living room (Xbox360, Media Center PC), as well as mobile devices. Each of these platforms has shared capabilities and development tooling, but greatly different performance and integration characteristics. By comparison, Flash, Flex, and AIR are all variants of the Flash animation plug-in that Adobe acquired from Macromedia. They share a presentation and programming framework that was first developed for “skip-intro” and other pre-broadband experiences in the browser, and have incrementally evolved to add better programming, but lack the integration, performance, and tooling necessary to build many of the applications and content experiences that will be increasingly of interest to many businesses.
