The BIDDLE technology is currently used by over one million customers in Korea where it is used by #1 IPTV provider Korea Telecom and #1 cable MSO CJ CableNet.  Checking out the website, it really looks like quiet an interesting platform, above and beyond the conventional BD-Live content we&#8217;ve seen announced to date, or the online content HD DVD used to have.  It looks like it could really be a content delivery platform to turn any BD-Live enabled device into a receiver for broadband content.</p><p>Here&#8217;s Dreamer&#8217;s press release:<br

All of these can be personalized by geographic region or even by specific players.</p><p>&#8220;BIDDLE technology is designed to be an efficient, turn-key solution for any company that is ready to enter the interactive TV era,&#8221; said Dr. Won Baek, CEO/President of Dreamer.</p><p>Added Dr. Baek: &#8220;For content creators and distributors, BIDDLE technology presents an easy to deploy solution backed by real-world operational experience, which allows them to continually update and add new content and services, thus keeping their customers coming back for new experiences. From a consumer standpoint, BIDDLE technology is &#8216;invisible&#8217;, turning their Blu-ray Disc player into a global HD set-top box.&#8221;</p><p>The BIDDLE code pulls the content and services from a central server, allowing every application to load as fast as today&#8217;s web pages, thus making it easy for consumers to browse, search and watch interactive content on their TV screens.</p><p>&#8220;BIDDLE technology is the only BD-Live solution available that allows content providers to continually update and add new applications and services that consumers can access via the same Blu-ray disc, even years after the disc has been released,&#8221; said Jim Braun, CEO, Namsung America, an exclusive sales and marketing agent for the BIDDLE technology in North America.</p><p>Added Braun: &#8220;We anticipate that many U.S. movie studios and broadcasters will see the limitless possibilities that this technology provides in terms of building their brands, enhancing their customers&#8217; experiences, and offering additional revenue streams for their companies.&#8221;</p><p>About Dreamer: Dreamer is a leader in converged broadcasting and communication software technology with nearly a decade of experience in developing and selling interactive TV-related platforms, solutions and services.
