Irdeto

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Entirely unreferenced unambiguous advertisement. From start to finish, this article is written in promotional POV-pushing prose that's usually also deliberately vague and can't be fixed by editing: The article is essentially unreferenced; there are a number of external links to press releases. The presence of an elaborate but unreferenced history of the business suggests conflict of interest. This business is apparently a wholly owned subsidiary of Naspers and may warrant a line or two in that article. Contested speedy and proposed deletion, not mine.
