Hi, All,

Sorry for the belated entry to my own thread - things have been crazy (as usual)! In addition to all the great Blu-ray news over the last two weeks I also have professional responsibilities around interactivity in cable, and as those of you who followed CES may have seen there has been lots of positive activity there as well with the unveiling of cable's strong commitment to deploying "tru2way" (formerly known as OCAP), which is essentially the same software platform as BD-J. What this means is that advanced content you see on Blu-ray titles today may be available through your cable provider in the future, and forthcoming TV interactivity may be packaged up on the Blu-ray disc compilation. It also makes convergence products like high-def DVR cable boxes with Blu-ray playback and recording more likely.

At any rate, I'll try to stop in here on a regular basis and help out where I can. Note that my focus is really the advanced content area; others here are much better-connected to the studios and the business side of the format.
