I have been wondering what DTV’s plan would be for “The Triple Play.” Delivering Local Channels via OTT could be very cost effect for DTV.

IPTV is content delivered via PRIVATE broadband pipes. Exapmles are UVerse & Fios.

I do not believe that the voice service is VOIP. If im not mistaken, the voice service is actually POTS. If I’m right, don’t think it’s fair to make this mistake as POTS always wins versus VOIP…. better voice quality, better reliability, and above all does not use any of the data bandwidth to place or receive calls!
