| It is an Internet Service As long as it uses tcp/ip and they can prove it is an internet service, there is no way to dispute it. All ATT has to do is offer their IPTV over any internet broadband connection(meaning competitors) that can handle it and there is no way for anyone to say that it is not an internet service. |

| Seems like the lower case letters are a lot more arrogant than the capital letters. AT&T I mean "at&t" is throwing their power around already. I would seriously sign up for IPTV though, something different and new would be good for customers. They can't say it isn't internet Hello! "IPTV" |

If it ever happens, watch broadband ISPs (Cable especially) start to screw with IPTV packets just like some of them are doing with VOIP.
Rather than all this mess, I would like to see networks offer their feeds over the net themselves so we can cut out the middleman (and so we can really vote with our checkbooks)... |

More specifically, it would be a subscription open video service.
Thing is, that is not what AT&T plans to offer.
