It's good to see you focusing on IPTV and the Personalization of Content. Too much IPTV discussion focuses on many channels and many competitiors. That's important but whole new ways of delivering TV, such as personlized television, are just as important for fully realizing IPTV's potential and driving home the consumer impact.
