Tru2way (AKA OCAP) is based on the failed European standard called MHP (Multimedia Home Platform) that was born in the late 1990's as a replica of now defunct ATSC's DASE (Digital TV Application Software Environment) . DASE was based on the early 1990's Java TV technology, back when Sun Microsystems was the DOT in the dot-com.
The whole concept was (is) nothing more than a technical scam to get clueless executives to invest in a miracle software solution. The concept always get the attention of executives who do not understand software, but afraid of it.
Tru2way is a software scheme that pretends to solve the wrong problem with the wrong technology.
MHP/DASE/OCAP/tru2way gave a lot of software engineers job security. It already cost the industry a few billions of dollars. But hey! We've seen bigger scams lately...
Absolute waffle ...you obviously know nothing about the technology, its reason for existing nor its roll-out in Europe and throughout the Rest of the World...OCAP is running in all 8 Korean MSOs and very successfully deploying. MHP is being taken up in European Cable, Satellite, Terrestrial and GEM-IPTV Services are flourishing Worldwide...Alticast alone has deployed more than 10Million MHP/OCAP enabled STBs...8 million MHP boxes alone in Italy on Terrestrial...Blu-ray and OpenTPYV forum have embraced the OCAP/MHP Specifications and we now have a GEM Application Framework (Globally Executable MHP) which is collaboration by all the different agaencies involved. Cablelabs, ATSC, ARIB, BDA, OpenIPTV and of course the DVB. Things have moved on a looooooooong way since you last studied the subject.
