VIA SATELLITE: What will private networks do with high-definition content?Placek: We think we hear from our customers that even if they don’t do high-definition programming immediately, if they are going to upgrade their networks to take advantage of the newest compression and modulation technology and replace old equipment, they want to have high-definition capability there. I think it is important for part of the signage application that high-definition is essential. One of our retail customers uses a lot of screens to sell high-definition TVs fed from an iPump network. I think we’ll see a major switch to high-definition by the consumer as people get used to it.
VIA SATELLITE: What do you see happening in the digital signage arena?Placek: The whole signage area is very complex and fragmented with all kinds of solutions possible. Some networks are run by DVDs. Our model customer there is one that has many, many locations and needs to customize content for the various locations and needs to able to manage that content throughout the network. We’re just seeing a lot of opportunities there. The competition comes from all areas, but in the areas of satellite-based solution for digital signage, we think we have the best products around. The major move we’ve made is hybrid, so we don’t care if the path is satellite or Internet. We don’t are which way it goes. Each one is operable by Compel-controlled management systems.
