IPTVision > Introduction to IPTV

[MASTEL 2020] When most people discuss IPTV, though, they're talking about watching traditional channels on your television, where people demand a smooth, high-resolution, lag-free picture, and it's the telcos that are jumping headfirst into this market. Once known only as phone companies, the telcos now want to turn a "triple play" of voice, data, and video that will retire the side and put them securely in the batter's box.

[Joystiq] Hands-on with IPTV on Xbox 360: As for quality of service, I have been using cable forever (who hasn't) and IPTV completely blows it out of the water. First off, when I was talking to the tech that came out to our house to run the fiber from the street and rewire our whole place up, I was asking him about any number of stuff like outages and stuff (wanna make sure I was getting my monies worth).

[Comments for Nyquist Capital] AT&T Project Lightspeed and the Jedi Mind Trick | Nyquist Capital: IPTV isn’t a technological strength, it is a technology deployed in order to make up for the inherent weakness of their DSL based approach. Nothing precludes building an IPTV infrastructure over fiber, or even DOCSIS 3.0 based cable modems.

[CNET News.com] Broadband's bargain hunt - CNET News: Comcast, for example, plans to offer special features to subscribers of both its broadband and cable television services--perks such as remote recording capability through its Comcast.net portal to allow customers to record television shows on its digital video recorder. The company also plans to integrate caller ID functions with its television service so customers can see on their TVs when someone is calling them.

[Comments for Nyquist Capital] AT&T Lightspeed Gets More Expensive | Nyquist Capital: Telcos deal with late deliveries by contractual monetary penalties on late equipment shipments. The project cost is most likely higher because, as always, projections were too optimistic (which is also the case regarding project schedule).

[Telepocalypse] Telepocalypse by Martin Geddes: Socialist services: IPTV is potentially a strong enabler of such a model. The question is whether the telcos (which are conservative by nature) will have the modest ambition of replicating the cable approach where the pipe provider also acts as the retail provider of content, or the more subversive ambition of eliminating the middleman.

[The Jeff Pulver Blog] The Jeff Pulver Blog: Beware the Fine Print Buried in the AT&T ...: AT&T has a conditional net neutrality commitment from the IXP closest to the end user onward to the enduser. So it has no net neutrality responsibility upstream and may have offer superior QOS guarantees such that Content Provider A's bits always get to the IXP on "better than best efforts terms." That may not trouble me, but going to the point about the scope of AT&T's commitment, I'm not sure they have offered much, particularly since AT&T probably will self provision to the closest IXP and may do so onward.

[Network and Telecom Strategies Blog] Network and Telecom Strategies Blog: Tough Decision: And where I live, we've had multi-day power outages where a battery would certainly fail. Except that in 2-3 years, Verizon has said it will be migrating the entire FIOS system to IPTV!

[The Jeff Pulver Blog] The Jeff Pulver Blog: My reaction to WSJ's "Phone Companies Set ...: The Journal says these phone companies are “setting the stage for a big battle ahead” and “hope to start charging Google Inc., Vonage Holdings Corp. and other Internet content providers for high-quality delivery of music, movies and the like over their telecommunications networks.” While the phone companies have thus far maintained that this is a network management issue, the Journal makes clear that it is a revenue-maximization issue.

[Blog Maverick] Broadband Video is overrated too ! « blog maverick: This way all the decision making and/or Programming of the live stream is delivered using IP/Broadband, but when it comes to the content or actual TV Program, that is delivered using the existing techniques (Cable/Dish). The PC takes both streams from IP and Cable/Dish, and mixes them and allow a TIVO like environment.

[NBT - EN] p2pnet news » Blog Archive » Online pirates: valuable resources: Companies like SBC have recently started a multibillion dollar expansion project stretch their fiber-optic lines to homes to provide adequate bandwidth for high-definition Internet Protocol television (IPTV) streams (McHugh, 2005). Looking to cut in to the cable companies, telcos are building ultra-high-speed networks that use Internet Protocol to deliver videos over the phone lines.

[Bob Frankston's Writings] Verizon's "Secret Stash": They haven't given up on ITV - this time they are using fiber as the transport and calling it IPTV. The fiber they are installing for FIOS is really a cable TV plant disguised as a network.
