[Andrew Burke's Hardcore IPTV Blog] Catch-up Killed the Video-on-Demand Star? « Andrew Burke's ...: It could be that broadcasters combine linear and catch-up packages, brand them completely and pay service providers purely to distribute the content.  The service provider falls back to the role of dumb carrier and monetises the network.  The broadcaster fronts customer acquisition activity by leveraging their media reach and the service providers offer installation help, guaranteed quality or discounted triple-play bundles.  Maybe not an ideal scenario for the service provider but it does allow them to ”˜revert to type’ and leverage core skills.  The broadcaster gets to exploit its ”˜content is king’ position but will always have an uneasy alliance with the distributor.  And both need to decide how the set-top box is funded.  Is it a universal product which can subscribe to multiple broadcaster services or a tethered offering?  Here lies the real opportunity of a Freeview/Canvas-like product, the consumer buys the box and as long as the OTT content is only ”˜gatekeeped’ by the consumer then many different content providers could compete for that customer’s loyalty.  Sounds like the PC to me - one platform, many services.

[Freeband TV News] Bigger boys stealing IPTV cake: This is great for email and YouTube, smashing, however only nine countries out of 66, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Latvia, The Netherlands, Denmark and Romania, were found to have the broadband quality required for future web applications likely to become mainstream in the next three to five years, including high definition internet TV and high-quality video communications.  Or, arguably, wide spread distribution of IPTV services, particularly HD IPTV. If these other 57 countries, or at least a healthy percentage of them, don’t get their acts together, the future is not looking bright for widespread deployments.

[TechCrunch] The Google Set-Top Box (Think Android For TV): Anyone can write an application for Mediaroom on the PC and easily make it work on an IPTV set-top box (or an Xbox or an HD-DVD drive, both of which come with Ethernet jacks). There are only about 50 or so third-party .

[Freeband TV News] England qualifier match good test case for IPTV-like services: The numbers watching the match weren’t huge - Kentaro, the sport marketing company that owns the rights to screen the match live had set a cap of 1 million subscribers, though final numbers were estimated to be around half that - but it was a good toe in the water and, importantly, there were few technical complaints.

[MashUp] The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: MashUp: In the case of IceTV, their guide is compiled from a variety of public sources (including the usual predictability of TV schedules, give or take a bit), but their clear advantage (and that of any online EPG) is that it can be updated to all subscribers immediately when the various TV channels advertise their frustratingly common late changes to programs (and is half of the reason I no longer record TV, though simultaneously denying myself the occasional gem amongst the dross, a loss I am lately making up for via TV delivered via the Internet).

[itvt] [itvt] Conference Guide for The TV of Tomorrow Show 2008 ...: Web- and mobile-based participation TV and broadcast-synchronized two-screen ITV-which for a long time were viewed by many as interim solutions that would be superseded once single-screen interactivity became more practical-appear to be alive and well in the US, as an increasing number of broadcasters, frustrated by the slow pace of single-screen ITV deployment on cable set-top boxes, have opted to roll out two-screen/two-device alternatives (broadcasters that have launched two-screen/two-device ITV services over the past year or so include NBC, Turner, Discovery and ESPN-to name but a few). As a result, even as single-screen ITV has begun making tentative inroads into the US market, a number of both new and established companies are targeting that market with increasingly rich and sophisticated two-screen ITV and participation TV solutions.

[PERSONALIZE MEDIA] Social TV Reloaded | PERSONALIZE MEDIA: The viewer back channel, real time social chatter, “did you just see that”, “I don't agree with what he just said” and most worrying for broadcasters “I'm not going to watch this again. Agree?”.
