IPTVision > IPTV - TV over Broadband in Australia - Youcompare Pay TV

[Youcompare Pay TV] Considering the NBN is commencing deployment later this year (to be completed over an 8 year period) and will be the foundation to drive home IPTV and Video on Demand type services, together with the projected growth figures in Europe expected over the next 5 years, it appears that IPTV's emergence in Australia will follow Europe's lead and become a popular subscription TV service. In the interim, ADSL2+ might not be be able to deliver high definition IPTV Australia wide, however, until the NBN comes into play, it could make a viable substitute for IPTV services, especially for those residing in major metropolitan areas and those close enough to DSLAM exchanges that will be able to take advantage of the faster ADSL2+ speeds.
