How the Popes Assisted [a certain company] with Ad Insertion Software for Cable TV

By Peter J. Floriani

Popes? Cable TV? Software? Subsidiarity?What do the Popes have to do with Cable Television or with Software Development for such an industry?And what does this strange word Subsidiarity mean, anyway?But it really happened. Subsidiarity is an idea presented by several papal documents, starting in 1891 and continuing for over a century - and the essential principles of this idea were used in solving a difficult problem for handing file transport to and within remote sites which were performing local ad insertion on cable television for [ a certain company ]. On March 2, 2000, that system went live and ran for five and a half years, airing over 230 million spots with a run rate better than 97 percent.That system is long gone, vanished into the dim and almost forgotten past, but the challenges it presented continue to exist. Too many questions are still being asked about difficulties which were solved in practical and effective ways by that system. This book provides answers to those questions, and insights into design methods which have application beyond cable television.
