Verizon Opposes FCC Making Tru2way Standard

Verizon Communications has asked the Federal Communications Commission to encourage the development of interactive video standards based on a low-cost, universally implementable interface - such as Ethernet - so that a "cable-centric approach" like tru2way doesn't put other providers at a disadvantage. The cable industry has pushed tru2way, formerly called the OpenCable Application Platform, as its preferred mechanism for complying with federal regulations that require operators to make interactive services like video-on-demand accessible through third-party consumer-electronics devices.
