Meeting notes:
Update on OSTN -- a meeting is coming up this Thursday.
CATV -- service planning discussion.
Some what-ifs:
Commoditization of not only CATV for UP RHs; where (vendor name) provides
basic service level, but also consider opportunity for a
vendor convergence of commodity internet connectivity to include IPTV content. E.g., Verizon FiOS (not available here?) or something along the lines of ATT streaming video over an ATT I1 connection.
General strategy discussion:
Futures -- Define the level of service needed for CATV in the RHs. Perhaps legacy CATV is status quo, out of available channel space.
We should establish future requirements of CATV.
There are customers that we haven't considered yet -- we have CATV taps in
buildings for special interest programs which are currently carried over the
UP CATV system. These programs, such as the College of Communications
Weather, are high quality programs and would be valuable as streamed content
within PSU.
AN opportunity to listen, talk, sell, and explain network capabilities as well as provide some knowledge transfer towards how to stream PSU-produced video on the PSU IB.
