MAY 28, 2008 • Sony Corp. is very serious about managing the digital entertainment gateway in the home. The electronics firm signed an agreement of understanding with the National Cable & Telecommunications Association that establishes the fundamentals of retailing digital cable-ready televisions. Such TVs would have built-in DVR, VOD, and interactive interfaces that would be compatible with all major U.S. cable providers. Other consumer electronics firms were invited to sign onto the agreement.
