CDN providers - in here

So, I've had it ^up to here^ trying to deal with CDN providers for my clients who want secure streaming protection. Every single time I waste many many hours with them, only in the end for them to admit they cannot do what I am asking them to do, even though their streaming media (be it adobe FMS or wowza) support what I want them to do.

You guys, you are sitting on a goldmine here if you can implement what I ask you to implement, because without it you are losing clients who go back to streaming from their own servers to protect their content. With it, I can then send you people who ask me "any CDN supports this" (atm, I say no).

Yes, ok, you all offer some forms of security, but expiring keys, header tokens and unencrypted streams DO NOT cut it. Your streaming software server supports this, I can implement this, your clients want this, so why are you all so frikken stubborn not to enforce this!!!
