Inkundla yesithili saseJamani iye yagweba ukuba i-Apple yaphula amalungelo abenzi afunyenwe yinkampani yokhuseleko yaseSwitzerland iKudelski (OpenTV), enokunyanzela i-Apple ukuba isuse ezinye zeempawu zokusasaza kwiinkonzo zayo zeVidiyo yeApple.
Isigwebo seejaji ezintathu zenkundla yesithili saseDuesseldorf ngoLwesibini sathi iApple kufuneka ibonelele ngesoftware eyophula ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi we-OpenTV, ebandakanya ukuxubana kwevidiyo, iaudio kunye nolwazi olukwi-intanethi kumjelo wevidiyo enye.
Isigqibo senkundla sibeka uxinzelelo kuApple ukuba alandele isivumelwano selayisenisi kunye nenkampani yaseKudelski, nangona ileviathan yetekhnoloji yaseMelika inokuthobela ngokususa okanye ukukhubaza izinto ezichaseneyo kwiimveliso zayo zeeNkonzo zeVidiyo zeApple. Kwimeko embi kakhulu, kuya kufuneka urhoxise iimveliso kwimarike.
Iimveliso ezinokuchaphazeleka zii-iPhones, ii-iPads, iiMacs, inkonzo yomculo we-iTunes, isoftware yokudlala ividiyo ye-QuickTime kunye ne-Apple TV, oko kukuthi, phantse zonke iimveliso zayo.
Ibango lisemthethweni kwaye linesiseko esihle, inkundla yatsho kwisigwebo sayo saseDusseldorf.
Akukacaci ukuba iApple iza kubhena kusini na. Inkampani ijongene nezohlwayo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-250.000 ye-euro ngenxa yokwaphula umthetho nje ukuba iyasilela ukuthobela, kodwa isigwebo asizange sichaze ukuba ulwaphulo lunokubalwa njani. Abameli be-Apple kunye noKudelski banqabile ukuphawula.
Umyalelo wenkundla yaseJamani uya kuqala ukusebenza xa i-Apple yazisiwe ngokubhaliweyo, apho i-OpenTV ifuna i-4 yezigidi zeeyuro (i-4,5 yezigidi zeedola) enkundleni njengembuyekezo enokubakho yelahleko ye-Apple, ukuba isigqibo siyatshitshiswa kwisibheno.
U-Apple unokufaka isicelo kwinkundla yesibheno yengingqi sokurhoxiswa kwesigwebo, esidla ngokufumaneka kwisithuba seeveki, kwaye isibhene kwisigqibo esibambekayo kuloo nkundla iphakamileyo. Oku kuya kukunika iintloko ezininzi ngeenkonzo zevidiyo ze-Apple.
