EMEA • Best candidate for upgrade to new architecture • Cost saving on bandwidth • Transition from 3rd party managed to Sony managed operation • New HD channels being deployed • Distinct programming from SD feeds How many boxes?
Latin America & Mexico • Sony is minority stakeholder • Majority stakeholder (HBO) has negotiated new satellite rates • Cost per feed same for HD and SD • Secondary candidate for upgrade to new architecture • No cost saving on bandwidth Can we cut the costs further by reducing the number of bits going over the channel? Chris can talk to Zitter. A conversation with Gaston. Cuttner as a willing co-conspirator. 2600 boxes in LatAm. Get the benefit of their size.
Asia • Tertiary candidate for upgrade to new architecture • Sony does not operate the feed for its channels in Japan, Korea • Major market is India with no demand for HD yet CC predicts they’ll say “no HD” until they absolutely want it now.

Potential Partners • Edge Server • Cisco – discussion in progress • Motorola – may already have a product • Sony • Broadcasters • Turner • HBO (particularly Latin America)
