.NET seeks good reception from cable
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft could extend the reach of .NET if a cable TV standards body adopts the developer specifications it submitted. The Redmond, Wash., giant announced the move at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's show in New Orleans today.
Officials working on the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP), managed by cable TV industry research and development consortium CableLabs, will gather industry experts in coming weeks to look through Microsoft's .NET common language infrastructure (CLI) draft to see whether the code can work with existing OCAP specifications, versions 1.0 and 2.0.
