Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

(Operator Instruction) Your first question comes from Greg Mesniaeff - Needham & Co.

Greg Mesniaeff - Needham & Co.

Can you give us some more color on the renewal of the licensing arrangement with Comcast in terms of which markets it covers or whether it’s, what the pace of refresh or deployment would be overtime?

Yvette Kanouff

The agreement that we have is for which is upgrade ability of all of their software across all of their systems at the corporate levels agreement that we have with them and so we typically go through what their plans are and work our releases in conjunction with them, so that they can release their software several times throughout the year.

Greg Mesniaeff - Needham & Co.

There’s no specific timetable set at this time? As far as which markets, get upgraded first and then followed by which other ones?

Yvette Kanouff

No, and it’s not specific to that in terms of our agreement either. They have full flexibility to do whatever markets they need for their corporate planning.

Operator

Your next question comes from Chris Glancy - Associate Analyst.

Chris Glancy - Associate Analyst

I was just wondering Verizon seems like it’s a pretty big opportunity for you guys obviously and I’m just trying to get a sense for as they built out their wireless network, at what point can we look to announcements from Verizon and where can we see you guys fitting into the process putting the VOD servers into their networks? I guess the question is at what point in their build out are you guys their putting your product?

Yvette Kanouff

Well, it’s a public information that we are a part of their video-on-demand network, and so we do have places where we have our software technology and our video server technology in their cites. As far as their detail of their rollout and correlating that to exact, what server is where, I mean Verizon just doesn’t do that. So that’s not any kind of level of detail that we publicly been able to talk about.

So I think as far as what, Verizon is comfortable with us saying, is that they are a customer, a large customer of ours and that we have software and hardware deployed that’s about as far as I think we are allowed to go with it.

Bill Styslinger

I think we’ve said in the past and continue to be. This year we received a number of large orders from Verizon and thus far the only software and hardware use of VOD is SeaChange.
