I think it is the definition of Open Standard.

From a hardware manufactures point of view, it is. They can build one box that will work on both Motorola and Cisco based systems.

From a software development point of view, it is for the same reason. Write once, run on any system.

From a consumer point of view. Kind of. All you need to know is that your head-end is Tru2way compatible...you don't need to know if its a Cisco or Motorola head-end. From a software point of view, no probably not. Although, I do wonder, just how many manufactures actually want to code their own guide and other software or just use the standard MSO provided one. I know Tivo and Microsoft would obviously want to use their own guide (don't know about On-Demand and other apps) but I mean does Panasonic or Sony really want to be in the guide business?
