What I got from listening to the NDSAmerica folks was that their product is encoding gear for digital TV stations... and that a variety of third-party implementers will be developing various kinds of receiving-end systems. For example, as part of a current trial they've provided Kentucky Educational Television with encoding to broadcast the Weather Service's EMWIN data stream over all of KET's linked digital transmitters statewide. They say they see CAP as an emerging standard that offers broader capability and greater flexibility, and they want to support it if they can. They could develop and promote their own proprietary format, of course, but they say they'd rather use an open standard. But maybe it would be better for me to let them speak for themselves... they've offered to come on one of our conference calls as guests and give us a quick briefing on the view from that industry segment. - Art
