[Andrew Burke's Hardcore IPTV Blog] The UK and IPTV « Andrew Burke's Hardcore IPTV Blog: The delight of the UK TV market is that it is unique. Born out of the creation of the world’s first national broadcasting organisation in 1922, the industry has since evolved through commercial TV, cable TV, satellite TV and now the fledging IPTV. BT Vision has pioneered the DVB-T hybrid model by taking Freeview and adding on-demand programming through an integrated IPTV connection. On the face of it, this should be a compelling combination but due to technology, content and marketing challenges the service is yet to realise its potential. So now the BBC are looking to swop in, hijack the model, define the platform, deliver the content and market it using the same machine that made Freeview such a success. For the first time, Sky may find themselves outclassed by the infinite flexibility that a broadband connected Freeview clone could deliver.
