Is Interactive IPTV Finally Coming?
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "NEWS" @ 01:00 AM
"But just as the tech bubble's promise of "IP" telephone service over an Internet connection is only now becoming a widespread reality, IPTV finally appears to be on the verge of cracking the U.S. mainstream. Not the cable TV establishment — which questions the technology and the demand for so much interactivity — but rather three Bell telephone companies are taking IPTV off the drawing board in the United States, much as telecom players in Asia and Europe have led the way abroad."
I can see many potential problems with IPTV already and I can't really see it going mainstream before Internet2 goes public. Until then, the problem lies deep within the structure of the Internet and how many neighbours one has got watching IPTV at the same time. ;)
