Streaming of Games

[Faceplant]

I worked in the cable industry for nearly 40 yrs. The first 22 spent at a equipment manufacturer called General Intrument, later bought out by Motorola.

Our company invented what was called "Impulse Pay Per View". It was the very beginning of video on demand kind of the predecessor to what we call video streaming in a sense.

I can recall at one of our all hands meetings, right after one of the early Wrestle Mania events, which helped put "Pay Per View" on the map, our CEO predicted a pay per view Super Bowl. Not sure if that will happen, but I can see maybe a separate broadcast with enhanced features being streamed.

Did you happen to work in Horsham? I used to visit the Motorola site there when I was working for Verizon Labs. They were one of our vendors for the FIOS architecture.

Yep, right next to Commonwealth Golf Course on Horsham road. I worked there from 87' to 2009. Originally the company was called General Instrument, located in Hatboro. We moved to Horsham in 98', then Motorola bought us out around 2000.

I worked on the VoIP portion of FIOS in the ONT unit that hung on the outside of the house. This was around the 2002-2006 time frame.

I was let go at the end of 2009 after the financial crisis stagnated the industry for a few yrs. Went on to work at Comcast for about 14 yrs, testing WiFi routers and other WiFi devices.

BTW, I visited a Verizon lab outside of Boston to demo our device. Were you in the Boston area?
