Its not, that was kind of the point. What you're pointing out is NOT what
I was saying is problematic. I work with companies that get there content
from the coop or another aggregator every single day.
This is fine and common as dirt:
Video_content(from an aggregato or direct)--->Muni_operator-->End_user
What I think Jay and some others were suggesting is:
Video_content--->Muni_operator--->End_user AND/OR --->L1/L2
partner--->End_user
That last bit where the content is being delivered to the customer of
another operator that doesn't have a contract with either the content owner
or an aggregator isn't (IMO) possible today.
