Voop,

GMST gets one time payments for settop boxes TVS etc just like WIND gets run-time royalty when the appliance is sold. I think the difference is that the box or TV continues to generate revenue after it is sold because there is some monthly charge the cable/satellite companies pay to GMST for the EPG/IPG. Also, they generate additional revenues from the advertisement.

This is not to say that WIND is not a good prospect, but I can see why NY Stew leans so heavily on GMST.
