the PEA started with B...not G.....for the simple reason.. if your going to broadcast to Passenger-owned devices...lap tops...the lap tops have to be compliant...lap tops for the most part are sold with B.

``“Unlike other handheld products, IMS began with a comprehensive Content Delivery Network (CDN)…a digital content/data supply chain, ,b>managing entertainment content, interactive advertising content, merchandising content, financial transactions, passenger usage statistics and some innovative and unique revenue generation content,” says Renton. “Pea was merely a client on a network, a content and data receptacle. Essentially we began with a WAN to deliver content, and then added Peas as terminals. We knew we would eventually add WAPs and servers on the aircraft to create LANs for greater flexibility. The network itself – and the content— is of greater importance than the receiving device or who owns it.”``

The network itself – and the content— is of greater importance than the receiving device or who owns it.”

This is correct...however, their system is open. If your going to treat the end device merely as a client you have nothing but a standard system....that can be implemented by any one.

For premium content you can not do this....because the client devices have to be compliant to the system....you will not be able to view premium content on a lap top.

The end device is going to have to be compliant with the content owners approval of delivery models .

Wencors model has approval...they are above WAEA recommended practice.
