They esentially now own the telco IPTV market in North America..... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15214595 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 15:24:48 EDT Re: Microsoft way ahead in IPTV race - NOT!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15214151 krobar : Karl I think the problem comes not from your clarification at the end, but the bit in the beginning about "MS has locked up a significant chunk of the world"

Power corrupts.

I've made sure to specify that in the article.

Microsoft & Alcatel have locked up the IPTV market via contract with the biggest players in a number of countries. That "75 regional carriers" mark Siemens has been throwing around a lot the past few months to appease investors; it pales in comparison to deals with major telcos like Verizon, Bell Canada, and AT&T, who'll be deploying to millions of customers, not scattered thousands.

So they are way ahead in the U.S., UK, and Canada.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15212334 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 10:01:05 EDT Re: Microsoft way ahead in IPTV race - NOT!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15212298 ronpin :

Does BBR investigate before they make it "News"

I travel quite a bit -- and I can assure you there are not 75 IPTV operations in N. America -- unless we include apartment buildings and motels (which means the statement is simply misleading)

I guess someone has "gone-long" on Siemens.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15212229 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 09:40:32 EDT Microsoft way ahead in IPTV race - NOT!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15212184 TKJunkMail :
Microsoft has essentially locked up the IPTV markets by striking deals with telcos worldwide, while Siemens sits and waits
I don't see how that statement can possibly be made. The link in the BBR news item gives the lie to that statement. The facts seem to indicate that it is Microsoft that is playing catchup and not Siemens.
»home.businesswire.com/portal/sit···sLang=en
Siemens provides end-to-end IPTV solutions to more than 75 U.S. regional operators as well as many more worldwide, including national operators such as KPN Royal Dutch Telecom and Belgacom in Europe and Advanced Datanetwork Communications (ADC) in Thailand. In December, China's Shanghai Telecom Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Media Group (SMG) announced it will be collaborating with Siemens to offer IPTV services to a market that includes 25 million broadband users and 360 million television viewers. Globally, Siemens IPTV contracts cover more than 38 million broadband lines.
