| Not going to be on the "internet"
All of the TV data is going to be on the local network of the internet provider. Meaning if you have Verizon Fiber, you have Verizon TV. I highly doubt that anyone is going to be able to convince their investors that they can provide the QOS to provide HD over the internet. |

| The article still begs the question on what is meant by HD over Internet. For instance, I could see a model where an Internet Portal places a video server co-located next to the head-end of a service provider. If there's a direct link (e.g. OC12 or above) between the portal's co-located video server and the service provider, then the Internet backbone (e.g. MCI/Verizon) is bypassed, in which case, those types of charges are no longer relevant.
Not to say that the service providers would allow such a configuration. |
