Overview of RCA/Thomson's role in the development of the DirecTV Digital Satellite System in the 1990's. The system was totally digital and new, forming the basis for HDTV itself. It was developed as a response to an RFQ from Hughes to develop a commercial satellite based service. Bill's talk covers the wide variety of issues and hurdles beyond the technical development itself.
Bill was employed by RCA/Thomson for 40 years serving in operations, marketing, and engineering with several US patents. He is a Senior Life Member of IEEE.
