Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen doesn’t get much respect these days, but one of the companies in his “Wired World” could soon stir up the cable TV biz. It’s Digeo, the Kirkland, Wash., outfit that is peddling what is arguably the…

Apart from the notification, if the call control is done only through the connected phone, then the only thing Moxi has done is integrated ATA functionality into their STB. If it is otherwise, as I infer from your writeup (I couldn’t locate additional info from their website) it is an interesting development.
