Boston, MA | The issue will be moot soon Once the bandwidth is there (within 10 years) this will all be moot. Our problem right now is that for IPTV to work as well as we want it, one requires lots of bandwidth. That type of bandwidth is more readily available between the end user and the cable company's head-end (or between the end user and the CO) than accross the entire internet. Once the bandwidth is there TV stations (and anyone else) will be able to stream theitr HDTV-quality signals over neutral networks to your home. It's similar to how now, I can go to my local TV affiliate's website and watch a low-quality RealVideo stream of what they're showing. Content needs to be separated from the network for anything to be fair. |
