WinCAP has been in beta since June of 2012 in anticipation of several GLDS operator customers handling TV Everywhere authorization and self-care controls for their subscribers. Commenting on the WinCAP experience, BELD Broadband's Broadband Manager Jack Orpen said, "We have been with GLDS since 1999 and have always been pleased with their billing innovations and, like the other services they offer, WinCAP will provide the real-time authorization and a centralized platform for our new services, such as the 2012 NBC Summer Olympics."
“We chose to use GLDS’ WinCAP system to manage customer authorization for our TV Everywhere programming because it was important for us to keep our costs down and deliver the programming to customers relatively quickly. The platform will also give us quick and easy access to future content for our customers, while leveraging GLDS' easy to use and maintain WinCable for authentication," said Spencer Municipal Utilities’ Telecom Manager Jeff Rezabek.
“Our mission at GLDS has always been to help small operators look big and compete effectively with the same valuable service offerings provided by large operators, at a fraction of the price, and TV Everywhere plays a critical role in meeting that goal," said GLDS’ President Garrick Russell. “It's our belief that every operator, large or small, should have the ability to give their subscribers access to content, where they want it and when they want it. With WinCAP, we're letting operators shift content to a multi-screen environment and send their subscribers to content providers directly, while retaining control of their own brand and cultivating the customer relationship and viewing experience to the greatest extent possible."
