The idea came from the fact that we all end up walking around in a bit of a haze at the end of the day at IBC. It was a cheap joke that you Verimatrix folk must be fed-up with about being *very* much like The *Matrix* movie. Maybe I should have been more explicit casting your company as the Nebuchadnezzar and yourself as one of the Oracle, Morpheus or even Neo the "chosen one" to save not humanity from the machines but the content industry from oblivion ;o) More seriously Verimatrix is a really interesting CAS vendor for a journalist/blogger to speak to at the moment. I agree with what you say about Hulu not being the final destination. Through my gentle teasing I hope you saw that I think you are still in the front of the pack. Oh & BTW I think you're onto something really really hot with your white paper on "Adaptive Rate Streaming: Pay-TV Inflection Point". It probably is the technology to bring in another paradigm.
