• The completion with T-Labs, the R&I arm of Deutsche Telekom, of field trials for the virtualization of the set-top box, and delivery of cloud UIs to HDMI dongles and other devices



• A planned expansion by Ziggo of cloud-based VOD services to customers using CI Plus 1.3 conditional access modules



• The first deployment in Europe of CloudTV by Glashart Media, now part of KPN
