I work as a contractor for a company that is implementing an OCAP stack for some major MSOs. The dates that the article gives for the release of the DCAS technology are a bit off. One of the cable companies plans on doing field trials this summer, followed by a full deployment of the OCAP stack probably early next year.
As for the ones who think that all encryption here is evil, some of it does serve a good purpose. Most of the conditional access is to restrict people from getting pay-per-view when they haven't paid for it, and so forth.
I'm sorry you find the need to perpetuate the ignorance that most./ers have about Libertarians. Perhaps if you spent a little time to find out exactly for what they stand, you might not jump so quickly on the bandwagon of Libertarian bashing just to get some better mod points.
Mod me troll or off-topic if you wish, but a back-handed comment like yours only makes me feel pity for those like you that swallow what everyone tells you and beg for more. I'll remember the next time someone complains about Libertarians, then follows it up with a complaint about how the government stole another freedom from us.

Opera 8.5 was a bit glitchy, with some of the dialog being rendered in what sounded like a Scandinavian accent.
Classic.
