initial content bundle Some have criticized as lackluster the seven, WaveEnabled CDs that are bundled with the WinTV Theater board from Hauppauge. We should bear in mind that this initial deployment is something of a beta test. Indeed, I think of it more as a system-debugging exercise than as market research. I think the primary interest is in establishing that WaveEnabled devices can interact with WaveEnabled content under the aegis of the WaveNet, and that the record-control, rights-management, and money-handling functions all operate securely. Monitoring consumer behavior is secondary. A significant fraction of the "consumers" in this initial deployment are "early adopters" who bought the tuner card for the express purpose of opening and using a WaveAccount. Thus, we should pay more attention to the identities of the publishers who contributed to the bundle (e.g., Sony, Sierra, Learning Co.) and less attention to which of their titles they have included. The point of this beta deployment is to exercise the system and establish its probity. Its popularity will become evident in due course in the broader modes of deployment.
