9Issues for Retail Deployment
- Economics (Scalability)
- OCAP components (HE, Hosts, Cable Card, apps, et
al) are not mature yet it requires time to reach
full deployment - Challenge to promote iDCRs with national
accounts regional marketing required - Tech support MSO and CHILA company CSRs
- Consumer Behavior (Leased vs. Buy Value
Proposition) - Consumers are accustomed to leasing cable CPE
- It poses serious challenge to justify premium
- Needs right SKU selection
- Too many flat panel TV SKUs may confuse consumers
- Moving OCAP platform to flat panel is not simple
- Applications (OCAP Promise)
- Programmers and other 3rd party developers are
waiting for significant footprint before building
OCAP apps
10Open Discussion Next Steps

iDCR HD DVRs ASAP - Expedite common OCAP platform deployment across
MSOs - Manage the transition to DCAS Hosts
- Joint consumer research to clarify interest in
iDCR - Co-market to reduce the iDCR cost adder to
consumers - Leverage MSO regional and direct marketing
experience - Foster robust and profitable 3rd party OCAP
application developer environment - Cost effective software download path for iDCRs
