Which telcos now are working with Microsoft TV’s platform?
EG: Our TV platform consists of really two different product lines. Our IPTV product line has been sold to [AT&T Inc.] and BT and Swisscom in terms of commercial agreements. We also have agreements for trials with Bell Canada, T-Online France, Reliance Infocomm in India and Telecom Italia and BellSouth [Corp.]. So there’s eight total on the IPTV front. And then Verizon is a little bit different because the solution they’re deploying is a combination of both our IPTV product line and our cable product, which is called Microsoft TV Foundation Edition. Then, on the cable front, Comcast [Corp.] is our biggest customer and we have a 5-million unit commercial agreement with them. And then we also have agreements with some of the leading cable operators in Latin America. In fact, about 40 percent of the Latin American digital cable market is running on Foundation Edition today. And those are all commercial agreements. XC: Where is each of these telco customers with its TV rollout? EG: Verizon
