Flushing, NY | And Bell is the same there as it is here in the US
If it is and I think it is than they will just be announcing a lot of things to get attention and never deliever on their promises. |

| Re: And Bell is the same there as it is here in th
Out west, we have Telus offering a limited (read: less than 1000 houses) deployment of IPTV but.... no HDTV. Unless the telco's can get some serious bandwidth through their wires to deliver HDTV, they will only be able to capture a shrinking portion of the tv market. Once they can deliver HD and onDemand, it's an even ball game and hopefully we'll see price wars like the gas price wars of times apast and great value being delivered to the consumer! |

| Is it worth moving to Saskatchewan for IPTV? It's a beatiful land and all, and well Corner Gas makes it look beautiful.
But man, Regina just depressed me when I was there for a few months.

Nepean, ON | IPTV already available
Actually, Bell has started to deploy a product similar to IPTV but it's not the final product that will be rolled out with Microsoft. |

Re: Sasktel
I know, works great. On-demand is there and working, with content slowly growing, and HDTV is out sometime next year.
I think most telcos realize that extra bandwidth is needed, but are being quiet about deploying the infrastructure to do it. SaskTel is doing fine with ADSL for the moment, but upgrades are quietly in progress. MTS used VDSL for their service, doing things through a staggered release as the areas were upgraded to offer the bandwidth.
