Webisode #1: At Home
Don and Rhonda begin their counseling by discussing how their home
life is suffering.
For
many, the home is the hub for personal communications and entertainment.
Residential subscribers can watch broadcast and time-shifted video in
standard and high-definition, manage and share networked music and media
content, create, post and view consumer-generated content, and more.
Unfortunately, Don and Rhonda’s service provider is unable to
deliver these services—leaving them unfulfilled.

Don and Rhonda continue their counseling by discussing and demonstrating
Don’s ”issues” at work.

space. Ubiquitous business applications can be accessed from virtually
anywhere at any time. New collaborative business tools allow employees,
partners and customers to interact in real-time regardless of location.
Unfortunately, Don’s poor choices lead to an unexpected career
shift and an inability to see how a secure and intelligent network can
provide advance business services…and advance his career.

access and enjoy their personalized residential or business content
and services from anywhere at any time. Unfortunately, Don and Rhonda
