CES: IPTV and Online TV

John Markoff and his editor make a dumb mistake in this story: confusing IPTV with online video. The only thing commong between them at this point is delivery over IP..other than that the dynamics of both are very different. The former is essentially a closed loop for all intents and purposes. Online it at least open, in intent. Sometime down the line both will converge, but the vendors would heavily dispute that…ask Alcatel.

Anyway, if you can look past this confusing jumble Markoff has fallen into, this is a good overview story on online video.
