Microsoft In Partnership on IPTV

Some encouragement for Microsoft, after being beaten over the last couple of months on its IPTV software: it has tied up with Scientific-Atlanta, a major TV set-top device maker, to work together.

The two companies’ technologies would support the rollout of Internet-based TV by telecom giant SBC.
