MCE and IPTV - The Green Button

[The Green Button] They also have a mediacenter BDA driver that emulates a local TV-tuner, but that actually streams the TV-signal over IP using the same multicast method as you mentioned (you can also use VLC).

Why doesn't VMC work with U-Verse? - The Green Button

[The Green Button] While it is true that multicast is indeed TCP/IP and the fundamental operation of multicast is only slightly different than unicast, it is not quite that simple. Even if AT&T were to release the specs for their multicast channel lineup, you would not simply be able to put your media center on your network and attempt to send an igmp join for a specific multicast address.

MyWay COO Explains How IPTV Revenues Are Shared With Operators ...

[MediaNama: Digital Media in India] Typically, Kumar says, 15-20% of revenues are given to the content partner. So it appears that MTNL and BSNL, two telecom operators trying desperately to stem the decline in wireline connections, have given a bulk of the share to the IPTV service providers. Though he hasn’t specified it, we would be surprised if IPTV service providers get anything share of the access charges (broadband) that a subscriber pays. IPTV is a wireline Value Added Service (VAS) - at least, that’s what an operator will say.
