Founded in 1993, Cabot Communications, headquartered in Bristol, UK, was one of the forerunners of the digital TV revolution. Working in partnership with early innovators such as SES-ASTRA, Telewest and the BBC, Cabot helped to develop some of the industry’s pioneering solutions for interactive services, content creation and delivery. Cabot was one of the earliest contributors to the MHEG-5 interactive standard and was responsible for the first public demonstration of a MHEG-5 engine on a real set-top-box in 1998.
