OK.  But there is a distinction that may be missed here.  This was 
not meant to mean "a company that emits an MPEG transport stream".  
This was meant to define a company whose primary purpose and value 
add is to aggregate feeds and provide lots of diverse content.  Yes, 
a terrestrial emission can do the same thing, but on a much, much 
smaller scale, and the content will unlikely be very diverse coming 
from the same station.  So, I will drop the qualifiers as you 
suggest, but add some more words like the above to make the 
distinction clearer.

>2. Should MHP and ATVEF be included?

Probably a good idea (including DASE, too).  These terms come up 
enough that it might be helpful to folks.

Anyone else have comments before I post this?

Thanks,
