Well the solution for this type of system requires multiple parts. First you require content, then you require a system to manage and encapsulate it into the satellite/wimax/terrestrial transmission system (those that don't have direct IP input and no backchannels). Last you require an edge device. And what you do from there really depends on the customer. We have a lot of these devices deployed worldwide (at teleports, tv stations, pay tv operators, etc.). But most don't use them with the intent of delivering content to a handheld device like the N800 (simply because there is either no demand, no understanding of how to create demand, or the only required platform is a set top box). Very few operators deploy a complete end to end system for delivering data content in this way. Probably because of the complexities of trying to enforce content protection along such a chain... but they are having to change their business models regardless thanks to the likes of bittorrent et al. Anyway the demo is to show the N800 as a client-based Wifi device which can browse data on an edge receiver, and also directly receive and decode content streams that are routed onto the wifi network by the edge receiver (which may also re-route via e.g. wimax - except that the N800 has no wimax capability). The input to the edge receiver is satellite or other MAN or larger scale type multipoint distribution mechanisms. Hope that helps..
