Liberate plays in the ITV sector

Thanks for the nomination, techreports. I'm interested in learning a little bit more about their product, especially in light of your quotation on the Forrester forecast. How does this ad revenue, "T-commerce", and subscription revenue affect Liberate? Will Liberate be getting a piece of that revenue pie? Does Liberate's OS run the EPG's, internet access, etc., and how difficult is it to switch from one OS to another? Thanks...

Justin

>>Liberate plays in the ITV sector. They create a OS for set-top-boxes.<<

LBRT makes client and server software for interactive TV, but I wouldn't call it an operating system. It is my understanding that LBRT's products run on top of an independent OS, such as VxWorks from Wind River.

I've owned LBRT since the IPO, but haven't been following it much lately.
