Re: Microsoft way ahead in IPTV race - NOT!!
Microsoft/Alcatel have locked down all the major IPTV players in the United States, Canada's largest telco, the UK's largest telco, India, Switzerland, Italy...I'm still trying to figure out how this isn't a significant chunk of the world?
They esentially now own the telco IPTV market in North America..... |

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. Absolute power is kinda neat. |

Siemens has solid contracts in Asia, but not in the States or Canada, which is clearly our audience. 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. |
