We analyzed consumers' TV watching habits and content preferences and packaged our services to offer the flexibility and affordability for middle-to-low income segments. Irdeto has been a tremendous help in priming us to address local pay TV needs and we found Irdeto's conditional access solution to be a perfect fit for our needs now, with allowances for our future expansion."
