Colm, a few random questions as they came to mind: [;>]
Will your downloads be encrypted/obfuscated? Will your application
be port-agile? Is it HTTP, or Something Else?
If it's not encrypted, will you be cache-friendly?
Will you be supporting/enforcing some form of DRM?
Will you be multi-platform? If so, which ones?
When you say 'TV', do you mean HDTV? If so, 1080i/1080p?
Will you have Skype-like 'supernode' functionality? If so, will it
be user-configurable?
Will you insert ads into the content? If so, will you offer a
revenue-sharing model for SPs who wish to participate?
Many thanks!
