Comcast and the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) renewed a multiyear agreement for Comcast’s headend in the Sky National Authorization Service (NAS). The agreement complements NCTC’s success in giving its members the opportunity to buy universal digital transport adapters, set-top boxes and CableCARD devices from a range of manufacturers, said Comcast and NCTC Monday in a news release. NAS also gives NCTC members centrally managed options “that can reduce the costs for offering digital video and IP services to their customers,” they said.
