[...] A few months back, I had posted that instead of IPTV (the telco version of television streamed to your television), the downloadable television, despite being a dark horse, could upset the whole video ecosystem. And that was before Steve Jobs released video iPod, and did the Pixar deal to get closer to the glitterati. Thomas Nolle, writing for Network World says, “Steve Jobs took a giant step toward making IPTV a non-issue when he announced the Video iPod…..If consumers want portable, personalized, video experiences, will their as-I-want-it attitude carry over into their home-viewing patterns?” [...]

Interesting ideas thus far. I’m currently conducting an IPTV benchmark of the current deployments in the US (FiOS, Surewest, MStar(UTOPIA), Pioneer, etc etc) and would like to speak with anyone who is currently subscribed to an IPTV service. If you or anyone you know has experience with an IPTV service provided by any carrier can you please email me for a quick discussion?

Thanks,

[...] Om Malik’s Broadband Blog — » IPTV versus TV-over-IP UPC en consorten doen hun uiterste best om ons aan de set-top-box te krijgen maar ze zouden wel eens kunnen worden ingehaald als het veel eenvoudiger principe van broadband TV momentum krijgt. In Nederland zijn de pioniers van 3voor12 TV, Nederland 4 en Fabchannel al weer een tijdje druk bezig hun themakanalen op te zetten, en deze zijn (gratis) toegankelijk voor iedereen met een breedband verbinding. De content die UPC nu biedt via de set-top-box is daarmee vergeleken (althans voor mij) oninteressant en dus per definitie te duur. [...]

Om,

Unfortunately, I do miss the point of the article. Technicalities aside, I am happy you collected the research links.

I, as well, would not have known about these businesses and technologies if not for avid, borderline-obsessive, browsing of the IPTV News (http://www.iptvnews.net) directory of IPTV-involved companies. The IPTV News directory may not be as extensive as John Dvorak’s IPTV site (http://www.dvorak.org/iptv/) but the organization of the directory is superior, not to mention easier on the eyes.

Broadband stations are viewable via IPTV set-top boxes made by Akimbo (http://www.akimbo.com/whatis.html). Elaborating on my original point, competition of the two technologies is non-existent because Broadband TV is accessible via IPTV thanks to Akimbo equipment.

IPTv_is_my_life, i guess you did miss the clear point of the piece. IPTV aka Telco TV versus broadband video, the kind folks like MTV and Fox are trying to offer. Anyway i do take your point, and your comments, and research links. Thanks!

TV-over-IP IS IPTV. Broadband video, which you refer to as TV-over-IP, is not the same as TV-over-IP (IPTV).

When you talk about viewing television without a set-top box, you probably mean to say “narrowcasting.” Narrowcasting is not in competition with IPTV – simply because it supplements the technology rather than opposing it.

Visiting Narrowstep’s (http://www.narrowstep.com) website will provide further education on the concepts involved with narrowcasting.

Unfortunately, you are also ignorant when it comes to potential players in IPTV. Cable and satellite operators (not just telcos) are now able to play along thanks to TVnet (Ethernet-over-coax technology) by Coaxsys (http://www.coaxsys.com). TVnet transforms coax receptacles into a high performance multimedia network, creating new applications for digital communications and entertainment – without having to hardwire Cat 5 cable throughout the home.

Coaxsys Inc.’s IPTV7000 (http://www.coaxsys.com/products/iptv_7000.php) adapter accomplishes this task and is extremely popular with both telcos and service providers.

I’m hoping that people will taking the statements made in the article “IPTV versus TV-over-IP” with a grain of salt. This person has concepts confused and obviously did not heavily researched the topic of the article beforehand.

PS…

Error500,

I suggest you study the following NDS (http://www.nds.com) products and information regarding the Secure Video Processor to gain enlightenment about Content and Content Security:

A computer running specialized software to receive DRM content and stream it throughout the home would be no less secure than the closed fiber path and there is no reason it has to be free (see iTunes et al). The advantage of the closed fiber path is greater control for the network operator, not the content provider (who would be better off going the route I just mentioned).

I think the main problem with just sending content to computers in IP format is the content owners will not allow valuable content to be available to become shared content. Closed fiber networks and set top boxes using encryption are a little more secure.

Any company could make their content available now....but they don't as it's hard to sell what people can get for free. Sending video in IP format on the internet will make it available free.

IPTV is working in Hong Kong. With a population just under 7 million, 441,000 subs in two years is not too bad. What would that be in the US with a population nearly 300 million!

The structures are fascinating -- but, the reality is all of this is avail. to anyone interested today, with a basic broadband connection (including, technologies that allow instant-on streaming of playerless files; we've tested these, they work).

But, it comes down to content...And, the promises of the Brightcoves, Akimbos, DaveTVs are only as good as their relationships with content providers will be. And, they are sucking up to the traditional providers, who don't need them, and ignoring the independent (yet professional) producers/publishers. Seeking out alot of old library content that no one cares about is a sure route to failure.

The search tools for video are more important than the hardware. Yahoo is well on its way to becoming "TV Guide."

More important, are the producers/publishers who shape their content for an on-line experience that is different from TV.
